Default Lift

Does anyone make a lift kit that will raise the front more than the rear so it will sit level? How much lift can I go with the stock drivelines/components? Good lift bad lift?

Default Use a spacer

Most lift kits are even at all 4 wheels, you can buy front 3/4" coil spacers for about 30 bucks on the web at 4wd.com to even them out.

on mine i got the rusty coil lift which is 2.5 in the front and 2 in the back. Then i put a .75 spacer in the front and I think it looks perfect with a little more lift in the front. I just got my 35's on this morning so i will try to post a pic later.

check out super lift, I was told by our local shop that super lifts design was to level out the new JK.I have only seen the 4inch and it looked level to me.

Looking at the photo of the Superlift spacer lift in Quadratec catalog, it looks like the front spacer is taller than the back, so I would agree with the above...

the black diamond 2" kit, which i believe is the same as the superlift did level it out better than stock. the front spacer is about 1/2" longer than rear.
