Default 2'' Lift Question with Gobi Rack

Ok, I have a 2011 Mojave. I have a Gobi Rack and the weight of the rack makes the jeep much more even and did away with some of the "Rake" I want to put a 2'' lift most likely a BB on the Jeep to give a little more height. Most of the 2'' spacer kits will bring the front up 2'' and less in the rear to make up for the rake. I dont want my jeep looking like its launching in a drag race. Any ideas?? Thanks so much

I'll post a pic of mine when I get home tonight. I have the teraflex leveling kit on mine. It sits very nicely.

Your GOBI rack leveled out your JK?? That's odd. I barely noticed a difference when I installed mine & I'm running a 3" lift that already leveled out and got rid of the rake. The rack only weighs about 100lbs and it's pretty evenly distributed... do you have a ton of gear attached to it?

No just a standard rack, lights, ladder. It didnt totally even it out but it took some of the rake away. I just dont want the jeep to sit funny after the 2'' kit

BDS makes a 2" budget boost. Exactly 2" front and rear.
