Leveling / Visibility
I bought my JK with a lift already installed. The one thing that has bugged me since I bought it was that it isn't level. It's already been recommended that I get coil spacers to level it out. BUT, I was on the trail the other day and realized that the higher the front end is, the lower the visibility in front of me correct? If so, that doesn't seem like a very smart decision.
Anyone want to chime in? Pros and cons.....

Never thought of it that way - trails are so different that you will eventually get into a situation where your front end goes up so high that visibility is obscured whether you are lifted or not. Adjusting your seat to max height when you are offroad is good for short guys like me also.

Ground clearance is your friend as well. Besides, lifting the front end 1"-2" is not going to make such a huge difference that your going to loose huge amounts of forward vision.
