Default Need Help. Lift Help

Ok, so I installed the front spacers and have everything back together on the front end. But now the Jeep is sitting level and I haven't even raised the back end yet. Should I leave it how it sits? Especially since I'll be putting on a winch as well.

I have an aftermarket bumper so I'm sure that's weighing it down a bit.

Pease help.

With the added weight you probably should have gone with a coil lift if you are running stock coils still. My suggestion would be to get coils otherwise you wont be sitting level with the added weight on your stock springs.

what kind of kit? and if your goal was to get level then I would not mess with the rear at this point.
I wanted to level my 2013 out and all it took was a 3/4" spacer in the front.

It was a Rough Country BB. I measure 7.5" from top of the tire to bottom of the fender in the front and in the back it's 6.5".

I'll be adding a 100# winch in two weeks.

So you think I should just leave it? It looks great how it is.

what does it measure from the very center of the hub to the bottom of the flair? If you like how it looks I would leave it. My guess when you add 100 lbs to the front it is going to dip down so if you raise the back it will look raked again.
