Default 4'' lift Rubicon

Should my Rubicon's front be 3'' lower than the back? I picked it up from the dealer yesterday, It looks like it's going down hill when sitting on flat ground.:sad:

If you want, take it to your dealer and ask for an alignment-check for ride height. When I worked at a dealership, I used to see TJs that were screwed up from being strapped too tight on the transport truck.
3 inches lower is not normal according to the Pre-delivery Inspection guidelines for the dealership. If you are not helped by the dealership, call the customer service for DaimlerChrysler and seek assistance.
If you speak with your dealer, go straight to the service manager. Don't go to the salesman, because they won't help you.

I am a littel confused as to why this thread is titled '4" lift Rubicon,' but the stock suspension is usually @ 2" lower in the front for some reason (could be aerodynamics). Most of the aftermarket suspension companies have taken this into consideration and they sit more level after the lift.

It was titled 4'' lift Rubicon because it is a Rubicon JK with a 4'' Teraflex lift.

Check to make sure they installed the front spacers along with the springs and the stock rubber isolator. Also see if they added the stock rear rubber isolators back in with the new rear spacers and springs. The rear rubber isolators can be left off.
