How to fix front rake?
Ok I got my lift and wheels and tires all done yesterday. I have a 2.5 BB and procomp 17x9 wheels and BFG 35x12.50 tires. Looks great but still has a lot of rake, I ordered a set of 3/4 spacers but looking at it 3/4 wont level it out. What do I need to do to level it out.
Thanks
Thanks

well, if it helps you any, I got 4" of lift out of my front FT HD springs and now our jeep is level. I still have the 2.5 Tera spacer in the rear with stock springs.

That's about right. My stock X sits 1.75" down in the front. To get it level with a 2" lift would be 3.75" up in the front. You got any pics of yours?

I ordered, I mean backordered, the FT 4" Lift. Am I looking at a not level JK when it's installed or do I need to purchase spacers for upfront?

Im not sure, I would think once I add the 3" FT springs I'll have a slight rake again. I know Ive read different results between 2dr and 4dr. I think the 2 doors sit level and the 4drs have a slight rake with the FT lifts.

Raising the front end back up.
I have an 07 2 door with a 2.5 BB with longer shocks on it. Since installing a Fab Fours front bumper and 9500UT winch, the front end is definitely sagging a bit. Anyone have a solution for this? I have seen guys asking about stacking spacers, but I'm concerned about doing it.
