Default Teraflex 2.5" spring lift reverse rake

Anyone else have this? It's not major, but I can see my Jeep in the carport from my living room, so I see it all the time. I have the factory plastic bumper up front and an LoD stubby with swing out tire carrier, full sized spare and hi-lift in back... so maybe it's just sagging from the weight? I may get a steel bumper up front, but I really have no plans for a winch any time soon, so I don't think I'll ever level it from the weight.

I wonder if I should try one of the adjustable leveling kits? I haven't really researched them yet, but I assume you'll get a minimum 1" or something from it? Any other ideas?

Those TF 1" spacers are an easy and affordable way of getting it to the level you desire. I totally agree with the post above and also recommend it.

X3 on the spacer... going to add one to the front of mine to level it up due to bumper and winch.

How painful to install the spacer? I've done lots of work on leaf sprung vehicles but have never messed with a coil/arm suspension. Does the track bar have to be disconnected?

I can tell you that adding a bumper and winch up front will drop your front down and level it. If you plan on doing this, I would hold off on the spacers

Any issue getting the track bar lined up again after doing the work? Or does it just kind of work out as long as the jacks don't move?
