Default Coil Wedges Went in and Rake Came Back

I put in a RK 2.5 FLex. Got a massive amount of lift (2 dr, soft top, no back seat) and my rear springs were bowed.
Jeep was almost perfectly level with a LOD and winch up front and a Warn Elite rear.
I put in the RK wedges, and got about another 1/2"+ lift out of it in the rear, but my springs are almost straight.
Now I have a rake again. I guess I'll live with it, cause I load up the back pretty good on trips.
How much lift did you guys get after installing wedges?

I would think little curve wouldnt hurt anything unless its causing rubbing but I have a 4 door so the angles arent as exagerated.

I thought about getting the wedges and figured this would happen. You could always just throw some 1/2" pucks up front to level it back out.

Can't start playing that game. It'll drive me crazy.
The ride seems to be better with the wedges. My springs had a nice bend in them.

I'm having the same problem so I bought synergy relocation pads. Plan on putting them on soon to resolve this
