Default Suggestions for adding additional lift to rear?

I have the AEV 2.5 lift with 35s and full size spare. It seems the rear end of my 4dr is sagging lower than the front a little and doesn't look "balanced" to me. How can I add a little to the rear without a whole new kit?
Thanks

You've got two choices....

1> figure out how much lower the rear is and add a coil spacer

2> use this as an excuse to add an aftermarket front bumper and winch. That should even everything out.

Bumper and winch will do the trick.

I added a coil spacer to mine. Or like they said^ the aftermarket bumper and winch should bring it level.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm running an aftermarket bumper front and rear already. Time to look at some spacers. Any one type better than another?

A spacer is a spacer. I've heard the poly ones offer a little softer ride than the steel ones but after I installed my poly ones I didn't think ny ride got any softer.
