I'm wondering how level a Jeep is or should be. I hear people talking about using spacers to level up. Somewhere I have measurements of my Jeep when stock. After installing Rubicon takeoff tires, springs and shocks I measured and from ground to lower part of wheel well opening is 1" higher in the back than in the front. My driveway slopes significantly so I don't usually notice if the Jeep is setting level but coming at it from behind this afternoon it appeared to have a lot of slope towards the front. Then I took the measurement and found it was only 1" different. I could get some short spacers to go in the front.

The JLR comes from the factory with a slight forward rake. Those measurements are normal. This is to accommodate adding cargo and passengers to the rear without an excessive rear sag.
