Need advice on rubicon express lift issues
So I had purchased rubicon express 2.5 inch lift and installed it. I thought the rear was way too low and rubicon express sent me rear 3.5 inch springs. My question is does my jeep look even or should I put the rear 3.5 inch springs on.

Measure fenders front and rear see if the same. Or wanna get a little more technical get a level park on level ground and putm level on roof see if level. It looks pretty close to me but it always looks closer in rear cause of smaller wheel openings

Fender gap is 5 inches in the rear and like 6.5 up front but the rear has smaller fenders. So should I put the 3.5 coils in the rear? Are there cons to doing this?

Time to slap a bumper and winch up front to level it out!!
Leave it as is, or add a .25" or 1/2" spacer. Don't mess with taller coils to fix a minor perceived rake. The 3.5" rear coils will just give a forward rake again, and you would be adding a heavy bumper/carrier/etc in back to try and level.

Can't use fender height to check for level. Have to use bottom of body seam between the tires. If you had a lighter spare or a metal front bumper it would be perfect. Mine was like that until I put the lod bumper and winch up front, now perfectly level.
