Default Rubicon on X suspension help needed

I need advice from some of you who have done the 4 door Rubi to 2 door X coil and shock swap... I have just finished doing the front and I am unsure if I should do the rear. My X had a 1.5 inch rake probably due to my bumper and winch. After I put on the front shocks and coils, I gained 2 inches in the front. Now I am off .5 the other way.

Should I leave it like this or should I do the rear also? If I swap the rear, will I end with the same original rake? I haven't looked at the rear coils to see how much of a difference there is in part numbers. In the font, I went from 13's to 17's.

Thanks!

I would do it, with the 1'' spacer and rubi springs i gained 2 inches, with out the spacer it should level you out close to perfect.
