Default Front end looks lower than the back

Hey guys,

I have an '07 4-door Unlimited X with a 2.5" Skyjacker suspension lift. Why does my front end appear lower than the back.

What do I need to do to make it look level?

Thank you

Kevin

JKs come stock with the front lower than the back. Some lift kits address this phenomenon others do not. I believe there is a spacer you can add to your lift kit to level the front out.

To level mine I added a 2 inch BB to the front and left the rear stock. With the weight of my aftermarket front bumper and winch it leveled right out. I have the rear BB for when I add a rear bumper, tire carrier, and oversized tire...

The teraflex leveling kit will take care this. Very reasonable fix. Got mine from David at Northridge 4x4.

I do not have anything up front, although I do plan on getting the Rugged Ridge Modular XHD bumper with the Pre-Runner guard. I'm sure that will drop the front even lower?!?!

Help the FNG!
