My lift is a 3.5 so I don't want to higher in front. ( have stock drive shaft up front- so far so good and I don't want to push my luck) will probably just get different rear springs

So wait, you mean you have the AEV kit too and there is that much rake?

Sorry guys - totally hijacked the thread. I bought the jeep with the lift already on it and I have no idea what brand it is ( doesn't say anywhere) and it has a pretty obvious rake that kind of bugs me. Sorry to butt in!

Well, for starters, do you have an aftermarket front bumper, and if you do, do you have a winch on there as well? If you added this after or if it came that way, the added weight could be the cause of your rake in the front.... could also be that the person who installed the lift happened to install shorter spring in the front or longer springs in the rear...

No winch or aftermarket bumpers. Maybe he switched the springs?
