Default 3/4" Leveling kit w/3.5" Rubicon Express Superflex Short Arm kit? Help and opinions?

I just installed my 3.5" Rubicon Express Superflex Short Arm kit on my 13' JKUS and I love it! It gave me just about 4" of lift and the JK feels great on & off road. With that said I'd love to get the rake out of it and level out the front with the rear. I've read about using 3/4" leveling kits, but I'm just curious if this is a good solution to my issue. Any pictures and/or info would be a great help!

Thanks in advance!

I don't have that much lift on my rig, but I put 3/4" spacer in and got rid of that dang rake. It bugged the crap out of me. I'd give it a try, are you running after market DS?

I'm running same lift and mine sits level. I am still running stock tires and wheels for now with an AEV tire carrier and no bumper on rear.

Got the same RE lift and had the same problem you had. I tried 3/4 pucks but they were still a little low in front. I bought 1 3/4" pucks and they were too high! So, I cut them down to 1 1/4" and re installed them. Perfect fit. Completely level. Did have to put in an aftermarket driveshaft (Adams) since my driveline was way too angled. Sorry, don't have pictures but just visualize a level Jeep and you'll get the idea.
