Default installed 1.5 teraflex leveling kit

Just got it done today. It looks like there is a reverse rake, judging that their is more space between the tires and fender in the front. How do you measure to know for sure? The wheel spaces should be here Friday.

Nice JKU! First thing you need to do is find a level piece of concrete to park on. A lot of driveways are sloped and can play tricks on your eyes. Get or borrow a level and throw it on your Jeep after you make sure the concrete is level.

Put mine on a week or so ago with an additional 1" puck in front with the coils in front and back. Think it sits level but I have a winch on aftermarket bumper (albeit light bumper)...

Coil lift, no spacers.

Assuming your retaining wall is level, your jeep looks like it sits perfect to me. You can't use the space between the fender and tire as the measurement.

Thanks. It was driving me nuts trying to measure the fenderwells.

If you would like it to sit higher in the front put some spacers in it. I put 1" spacers in front when I installed my 2.5" Tf coil lift and I think it looks good.

Doesnt look higher in the front judging from the picture. I think its the lines of the Jeep that make it look that way. When Jeep was designing the body they accounted for the rake when leveling the doors and body lines. My Jeep has the same springs and sitting in the front seats makes me feel like I am riding high in the front but that's because Jeep made them level to account for the rake.

Your rims are nice! Did you just powdercoat the stock ones? And if so, what color?
