Easy! I was by no means bashing or saying anything against these systems. That's great that you get such good performance. Most people just throw on a lift kit and expect it to be like Evo jeeps or WOL rigs. Although if you wanted to go with bigger tires bump stops might need to be in your future. Oh and to help the OP maybe you should post some pics of your jeep..
Ive been trying but I cant figure out on this mac computer how to crop and the uploader on here is saying the file is too large. If someone would like to shoot me an email address ill send it over if you wanna upload it.

With the lift the front seems to sit down an inch or two. Im guessing factory sits the same way. Can a leveling kit be put on top of the lift without any issues or problems? Im worried about problems with any driveshaft angles, suspension angles or anything that could be damaged. Its fine the way it is, i just noticed that the front sits that much lower. Im open for opinions and or options.

For what it is worth, I will add in that my Jeep has a fairly decent rake from the factory, and the rear fenders measure a half inch taller than thefronts. A more level stance will have the front fender about 2" taller than the rear.
I jacked the front of my Jeep up 2" with a floor jack (its completely stock), and the bottom of the rubi rails were almost perfectly flat (front was a half inch or so lower still).
So its not really an illusion... or is it.

Its not even a nice lift and I've got enough articulation to know that 35's are are my limit as well with 6 inches of lift.

yeah, 35's and 20's. I've had a set of the same tires on a f-250 i owned a few years back. Went from brand new to nothing in the matter of 20,000 miles. Granted it was a 8k lb truck. Ill def do toyo mt next or something with decent tread life.
