I have the Revtek 3 inch coil lift kit for my unlimited rubicon which has 3 inch taller coils in front and 1 inch taller coils in the rear and it removed the rake, but I would like a little bit of rake because right now it looks like there is a bunch of weight in the back and the rake would be nice for when I do some towing. I would like to raise the rear 1 inch and my question is should I use 1 inch coil spacers or get rear coils that are slightly stiffer (for towing) that are 2 inches taller over stock height? I jacked up the rear of the frame 1 inch and liked the look much better. Any help is much appreciated

Before jacking


Rear jacked up 1 inch

 

Might be the lens or angle, but the first picture looks pretty leveled to me, and the second picture looks like it has too much forward rake.

 

In person it looks better with the rear up. With it level the rear is just too low for my liking.

 

i don't know if spring flex or bulge is an issue, but someone makes rear spring correction wedges that would raise the rear a bit and keep it from being an issue in the future. maybe it's Teraflex or Rock Krawler? so much reading lately they all seem to run together.

 

Tell your wife that you now need an aftermarket bumper and a winch to get things to settle out.

 

FYI. It's an optical illusion but when a JK is level the fender gap between wheel and flare should be bigger in the front. For gaps to be equal you have to have forward rake.

 

That's what I'm going for equal air space between flare and tire and the rear has 1 inch less space than the front.
