i think the jk looks meaner when it sits level. even if it isn't much lift. not sure why they didn't have it sit flat from the get go.

I did it because I like the more aggressive stance it has like that without the rake from the factory.

I have that on my 2012 jku and I like the look for a daily driver.

It does not sit flat from the factory so it can carry its rated weight without having the front end looking like it is stuck up in the air. I know it has a rake when you guys are sitting there staring at it but when you load it up with some friends and gear it rides level down the road. Same for towing, it allows you a little squat for the tongue load of the trailer.

I think a jeep looks dumb driving down the road dragging is ass, but that is just my opinion I guess.

I don't ever plan on towing, that's what my f250 is for. The rake looks horrible on anything. Air bags ftw

If you ever plan on going mild off roading, you'll appreciate the 2" added to the front end(1" to the rear) It allows you to put slightly larger tires also,
Lets you use your jeep more like a jeep.

Personally, I do not like the rake that comes factory. As stated previously, the stance becomes much more aggressive which I personally prefer. In addition, I plan on running 33s on my jeep. A level will allow me to clear them perfectly, especially with a flex..

Here's mine. I think it has a good stance.
