Im assuming that mine had a 3/4" rake to begin with since it seems to have dropped only 1.4" since adding the steel bumper. If I remove everything, it will sag in the rear when a tow may be there or I have anything in the storage area. Glad @GATORB8 pointed it out. I hate the saggy ass everything has these days.

The 4 doors typically sat a little rear high and the 2 doors I read the opposite. I switched over to the TF leveling kit which was 2" in the front and 1.5" in the back. I then added a steel Rubicon bumper but the springs I had didn't seem to really sag much if at all.

So I did a bit more measuring. Guess it’s not 1/4” after all. Measuring my wife’s and mine they are close to the same rake. Granted hers sits higher than mine in general. I assume that’s cause I have more than double her miles over 22k vs less than 10k. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions but I think I’ll let it ride for now.

Well, making it completely levelled using the Sahara sidestep or Rubicon rock guard makes a Jeep definitely look like it’s ass low, which makes a Jeep look a lot worse than with the oem rake.

Since you had a noticeable rake when stock and your Jeep dropped 1/4 with the heavy bumper, I’d likely go with a 1/2 inch teraflex spacer up front and it should look perfect.

I found that at least with the Rubicon fenders, if your measurements front/rear from the ground to the fender flares gives identical numbers, the Jeep has a small rake and looks perfect to me.

That is the case with my Jeep and see how I still have a rake that allows me to load the Jeep without looking ass low.

Well, mine probably sits about like that from eyeball. But when measuring, I measured from the pinch weld to the ground. Hers sits higher both front and back than mine does. Hers has about 1" worth of rake and mine is about 1 1/8". I am just going to leave it all alone until I need to get new shocks etc and probably change both the shock and the springs at that point.
