Default 2.5" lift and still raked- measurement please!!

I have an 08 Rubi unlimited with 60k miles and recently installed a RC 2.5" spacer kit. The rear was a full 2.5 while the front spacers are only 1.5". The Jeep is still raked pretty bad and I'm guessing the front springs are sagging for some reason. I'm debating pulling the stock spring and RC spacer and replacing them with a 2.5" lift spring. Before doing this, I was hoping to get some measurements from someone with a 2.5" spring lift.

Could someone with 2.5" springs please measure up fromt, the distance from center of your rim to the bottom of your stock fender flare?

Any other ideas how to troubleshoot or fix, please let me know.

Thanks,

Well the only way to get rid of the rake is to put bigger spacers in the front then the rear. With a stock bumper u should go 1" higher in front. With bumper and winch 1.5" higher in front. Here is mine with 4" coils and a 1" spacer up front and the rear is still higher by close to 1 inch.
