Default How much lift

I'm hoping you folks can help me out, I bought this jeep already built, (first time doing that) and I'm trying to determine the amount of lift. Notice the amount of rake, I'd like to level it out by bringing the back down. Its sitting on 35" Mickey Thompson MT's, and I believe it is an AEV lift based on the AEV stickers on the Bilstein shocks and grey springs. It seems to be about 1.5 to 2" higher in the rear, is this normal for AEV? Oh and I cannot track down the previous owner.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Looks to be a 2.5 Inch. Is there a spacer on top of the rear coils?


Heres my 2.5 inch lift on 35s. Ignore the trail flag (towel). I forgot my trail flag and found an orange towel in the back lol.

I've helped install two AEV lifts. Both jeeps retained the rake.

AEV rear coils are designed for fully loaded rigs. Get some weight in the rear.

looks like aev geo brackets are being used as well. Looks pretty good really as far as rake goes. You could add 3/4" spacers up front to level it but still not bad.

Thanks, the other thing is gearing, in 6th at 65 mph I'm reving around 2600 to 2700, so I'm guessing 4.88's, seam about right? I will check at some point but I just picked it up a couple of days ago. I'm loving it so far it's been 5 years since I sold the TJ and man did I miss the wrangler, had a Liberty after the TJ.
