I told you guys this would happen...

Hey Kat, your Jeep looks like it wants to pounce!! Is a hummer about to drive by?

No hummer on my street, just an old YJ and a couple of crappy fords and a toyota tundra.

The driveway goes slightly down in the front which exeradrates the rake some.

I got stock springs out of an unlimited rubicon and put them in my 2 DR rubicon. The Unlimiteds are rated for 3500 Lbs of towing and much more weight carring capisity.

I have a 2-dr X hardtop and I installed shocks and springs off of a Rubicon Unlimited soft top. At the same time I installed a Daystar 1 3/4' leveling kit. My lift gain came in at about three inches. The ride is somewhat stiffer but I expected that. The rake is no more pronounced than it was sith the stock X stuff in it. I'm very happy with the setup I have. I am thinking of getting some Rancho 9000 shocks.
