How to level an unlimited with 2.5" BB
I have the 2.5" TeraFlex Budget Boost lift kit, and I'm kind of wanting to get rid of the slight rake that I notice. Any parts out there that'll do this?

I keep my nose lower, as it hill climbs better.
With the front end up, too much weight transfers to the rear going uphill, and often overloads the individual rear tire's traction, while alos unweighting the front tires' traction more, exacerbating uphill front tire spin, etc.
When carrying cargo, the nose gets tilted up, and the headlights point at the sky.
When braking, with the nose up, there's more dive, and change in Ackerman angles for the steering, etc....so I leave the factory rake to preserve the steering geometery, load handling and climbing aility, etc.
I've tried it leveled as well, and, its not a big difference in the range involved, so if the looks are important to you enough to outweight the small loss in function, its not that big a deal....but, I just wanted you to know about it.

I added a 2" budget boost to mine, I simply removed the old coil spring isolators from on top of the rear springs before installing the new ones. The original isolator is about 3/4" thick, so it gets you pretty close to level.
