Simply put spacers in so that you have 1" more lift at the front than you do at the back.

Either that, or upgrade to a coil lift.

If your planning on a aftearmarket rear bumper the weight of it will help even the rake out!' are the front pucks solid? If so can you put another 1/2" puck up front?

If you don't want to go with a coil lift I would find a different front spring like a Rubicon spring that will have a different rate and give a little extra lift

I was told I cant put a a spacer on top of a spacer (front)...I still have the 2.5 spacer in the front but the rear is out..i have a 1/2 spacer for the rear on order. Its so confusing

From what I understand all the "spacers" will do is raise everything up. Meaning that if you already had a factory rake, you will still have it with the spacers. You will need to either get new springs, or different sized spacers to accomplish the level look.

Teraflex "leveling" kit uses spacers. Eliminates the factory rake. Silly silly guy.

I work for an A&A auto so it's pretty easy for me to get my hands on jeep parts and especially suspension parts the skyjacker coils are pretty cheap and I stock them separatly so they are relativly cheap
Coils dont always give you exactly 2.5 inches, you may get a little more out of them than that. Might be something to figure in so you dont end up with the rear lower.
