The reason the Wrangler has the rake to begin with is for MPG. When you raise the raise the front you will lose something.

Well I guess I've missed those threads, because I from what I've read, most got around 18-20 stock. I know I still get that with 33s Airaid and flashpaq. I know with the way I hate gas prices, that would drive me nuts to get that bad of mileage......especially seeing that I drive her between 45 and 90 miles everyday.

Yes. As stated above, that pesky stinkbug look actually serves a purpose. When you level or make the front higher than the rear you change the aerodynamics which in turn affects your mileage. Just one of the prices we have to pay I guess. You can probably count on some extra wind noise and buffeting on the freeway as well
