My Jeep with its ARB Bull bumper now measures from the ground to the center edge of the fender 35 inches in the front and 37 inches in the back. I have ordered a 2" lift front coil springs from procomp which I figured would make it level, eliminating the factory rake and the effects of the bumper. But after I ordered it I thought to jack up the front 2 inches to see what the effects would be. I like the effect it should have on the front end but I also noticed that the back end will go down 1/2 of an inch(fulcrum effect), thus making my front a 1/2 inch higher than the back.

My question is will the coil springs really raise it 2 inches or will the effect of the weight on a longer spring mean that it will compress more?

If it will be a full 2 inch lift does anyone have any ideas what would be best way to get my rear back up a 1/2 inch to a 3/4 inch on a tight budget and limited mechanical skills? Or better yet will it look and function just fine with the front sticking up a little? I know looks are a matter of opinion. Thanks for your input.
