I just measured my Sahara JK and from the ground to the top of the wheel-well = 37" Front, 36" rear. i know there is a rake, but i thought the front was supposed to be lower than the rear like a pickup truck.

also, i want to lift about 2", but the kits that level out the jeep have thicker spacers in the front than rear. man i hope i was mistaken and the jk isnt messed up. help

 

What's your gas gauge reading?

 

Measuring to the wheel wells is not a good indicator of rake. By looking at your pic I can see the forward rake, but the front wheel well opening is taller than the rear one. Measure from frame to ground at the front and rear

 

gas gauge? full. i see where your thought process is. weight of full tank of gas.

 

What he said. I used the rock rail to get a rough measure.

 

ground to frame:

in front of rear tire 14 3/8"

behind front tire 14"

strange...

 

so why is there an inch more space in the front wheel well ?

 

Ok, that is strange. When I measured my Rubi, it was 1" lower in the front, so I put 3/4" spacers in and it's about level now, that is until my winch goes in.

 

I have a 3" lift and my front end is about 1" higher in the front? I dont know if it started out that way or not? As of now I figure a winch in the front will balance it out somewhat. But until then???

 

so does anyone know why there is more gap in my front wheel well but the rake is rear to front? make sense of this please
