I saw the pic. I have got to say that it is difficult to see the difference. The rubicon (stock) seems to sit higher than others.
Do you possibly have a few more, please?

After seeing a few more pictures around the web of this instal it does look like this kit makes the jeep reverse rake or lean back. Assuming this is for bumper/winch instal...but not too sure I am wild about that since this is not in my plans. Maybe the TF leveling kit is the way to go to truly level the JK.

I have attached a few more photos shoing how the lift looks.
It definitly looks "more" level with the Hard-top off and soft-top on.
Nothing on-road has caused any issues.
The last photo is some carnage I suffered while idling (in 4-Lo)through a roadside ditch on the farm. As you can see, the brake line drop bracket (and brake line!) was bent 90 degrees. I did not notice this until a few days after and I am not sure if it was caused by contact with the tire lugs (stock wheel and tire without spacers) or from suspension travel as the sway-bar was disconnected. I have yet to report this to AEV themselves but I suspect it is a function of the stock wheels without spacers.

Mine was installed last week. I have 33's and like the way it rides. The leveling kit helped me a lot because of the bumper and winch that was added. Has factory rake.

bgwright: looks like you have BFG All Terrains on your wrangler, are those 285/17/70's? I have those tire currently on my 2011 4-door wrangler and am considering the AEV 2" Spacer Suspension Lift. I want to mostly take out the rake and add just a little height.

I had to re-cut the threads on the sway bar link arms, but other than that it was pretty easy.
Biggest headache I ran into was the combination of metric and standard all over the Jeep, wtf.
If anyone is doing it I found that the rear shocks were 16mm and 18mm, torsion arms were 13/16", and most stuff in the front was either 18mm or 13/16". I have a 2008 JK Unlimited.
I am running BF TA's 285/70/17, so they are essentially 33"s. Rides great so far.
