The picture could have been a little tilted but the drive is pretty flat. You can see the diffrence in the wheel wells. It looks like this on any drive way.

I drove this to dinner last night. I parked next to the curb and as people walked by I asked if it looked even to them. Nobody thought that it looked even. I thought that it was just me but everyone that I ask seems to think the same thing.

I think it is right.... if the drive was level with the house in the background it would change everything.... look close, I rotated the jeep over top of your jeep pic and I would say it sits as it should. Park it on level ground and measure from the bottom edge of the front and rear fender flares to the ground. Make your measurement so it dissects the wheels centerline

I don't think it sits right. Look at how much difference there is between his rear tires and fenders compared to mine.

I agree...the rear looks high for a 2.5" coil lift.

Here's mine ... the rear doesn't seen nearly as high as your from the pics and mine sits almost level.

My 4 door with the 3" full traction lift sat low in the front. It had the same rake as stock. I added 1 3/4" spacers up front. Fixed that problem.

The fenders are about the least reliable way to measure lift / level since they move quite easilly and will never be in the same spot twice on a Jeep. Je only way to really measure is at the frame rail for rake, and for lift the most reliable measurement is from the axle to frame rail before and after.

It looks a bit high in the rear, so that is where I would start looking. Make sure the coil and isolator are located properly.
