Default lift question

I am looking into getting the teraflex 2 inch leveling kit and just read that this kit lifts 2 inches in the front and 1 inch in the back ... why is that ? wont my jeep look weird ? as opposed to a regular 2 inch coil lift with shocks which lifts both rear and front with 2 inches ... anyone's input would be appreciated

JK's come from the factory with a front rake (front is lower than the rear), so a leveling kit 'levels' the jeep front to back. If you still want the rake, then get the same size spacers front and rear.

It depends on the lift and the mfg, but most will correct the rake to some extent. Go measure both ends and see where you are currently, then figure it into the lift decision, along with how much extra weight currently have and how much you plan on adding.

Look here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...hlight=1155200

Several customers have posted pics of their JK with that kit installed.
