Last week I installed a new front bumper and winch, which left my front (as measured by the space between the tire and fender flare) 1.5 inches lower in the front than the back. Today I added eibach front springs to compensate and now have the difference down to a 3/4 an inch. Can someone post of their height differences from the back to front? Mine is also a hardtop that I now have the soft top on which explains some of the rake, but I'm not sure what the average is.
thanks!!!!!

 

Morning bump!!!!

 

My Stock Rake is 1" (The rear is higher) with a 1/2 tank of gas. Hard VS Soft Top appeared to make no difference. Full to Empty tank of gas changes it by 1/2" So 1 1/4" Empty and 3/4" Full.

Many like to remove all rake. (I prefer a little). Remember that the JKs have a huge problem with hood flutter. Some believe that reducing the rake worsens this issue. (I don't have an opinion or experience on this, just an FYI.)

 

I just measured mine, and with the hardtop off, the rake is about 1.5".

 

Thanks for the replies! I feel better now, as I forgot to measure mine.

 

What eibach springs did you get?

 

If it is a big issue for you, throw some coil spacers up front. I went with a permanent solution of the JKS ACOS adjustable coil spacers. A little modding involved in this. You have to cut off part of the upper bump stop bracket. A regular spacer kit will have the same effect. Just not adjustable.

 

I went with the eibach 1 inch lift kit. I effectively brought my JKUR back to stick height. Quadratec had them for $104
