NO!!!!!!! leave the Red Rock up. I can show my wife what mine will look like once I get my kit. Been debating it for a long while, but decided on this kit and beefy 33s. That looks NICE!

I'm looking at correcting the ridiculous looking rake on my 2012. I want to add to the front, don't care for any added height in the rear... I JUST want it level- its already hard enough for my four and six year old to get in the back doors.
So here's what I'm thinking...
The TF leveling kit it does something like 2" in front and 1" in the rear. So if I added ABOUT an inch in front, that should get me where I want to be, y'think?
Was looking at this Daystar 3/4" kit... Thought I might just add the front ones.
Thing is, I do a lot of distance driving too, so I won't be upgrading tires, thus again, the lift is unnecessary. Any thoughts?
Better question... Has anyone done what I'm proposing? I'd love to get someone with a measuring tape to get me some figures.

When your sitting in it for the first time you can in my opinion def notice the height increase.

I have a silver 2011 Sahara. So naturally I want to put a TF levelling kit in! I won't be going bigger than 33" tires for the foreseable future. My JK is my DD, and I have some long-range trips planned, so keeping the mileage decent is also a concern. My question is about the factory shocks: do they work okay with the kit or should I be looking at upgrading them as well? I am wondering about their length and if it causes any problems with the small amount of lift? Keep in mind I don't see a lot of offroad time. I have a Jeep for winter travel and so I have a vehicle that can survive the crappy roads up here.

Thanks for the reply. I thought from the time that I started seriously looking at Wranglers that the front/rear rake just looked wrong. Driving on slush covered roads for 600 miles this past weekend showed me that the front wheel wells can fill up with ice pretty fast. A little more room in there would be nice.
