Talking with northridge in the morning. Probably going to go with the 3" coils, as long as he assures me I will not end up with negative rake. Reading what some other members are saying about it are scaring the crap out of me.

Did he say it will be a negative rake?

Talked to David. After telling him about what I had read on here about everyone's negative rake problems, he advised me to go with the OME 616 coils. He said that they usually give the jk 3 inches, but due to the weight of my bumper(233lbs) these would probably work. They are ordered, so I will post on here in a week or so when I get them.

Got the 615 coils from Northridge. Brought the front up an inch over where it was sitting without the 2.5 spacers. Now the front is .5 lower than the rear. Looks perfect!

I don't think that I will see any noticable difference. I have not taken all of the rake out.

Well I just installed my TF 2.5" BB and added a 0.75" Superlift spacer above the 2.5" in the front. Sits damn level now. Left the rear with the TF 2.5" spacer.

So now, 3.25" up front, 2.5" rear. Looks NICE.
