Default Lift kits and leveling kits...

This is probably common knowledge for most, but I just want to be sure. Will a lift kit get rid of the stupid rake that JKs have from the factory or will I still need to buy a leveling kit to add to it?

It really depends on the kit. Some kits advertise their leveling capability and others just offer an even lift front and back.

I know this thread is old but..... I did a 3/4" daystar spacers in the front and mine is perfect now. Cost me $40.

I used the teraflex 2/1 leveling kit. I combined that with monroe reflex monotubes shocks. I think that is a great combination that performs great for not a lot of money.

Agreed depends on lift. IMHO the rake has to go.

I just did the TF 2/1" level spacer on mine and very very happy with the outcome. A small change makes a huge difference

I'm rolling 33 no rub and no rake

The 3/4" daystar spacers up front is the cheapest and easiest way to go to get rid of the rake.

Yep. I like the teraflex kit for the extra bit of height you get for wheeling and looks.
