Default Installed lift rims and tires

This weekend I installed taraflex 2.5 bb and classic 17x9 with 35" claws fits great but the front has alot of rake I thought that the kit would level this out more, anyone have this same problem and I have my #5 wheel for the spare does anyone know if I can just bolt it to the back my tire should be in today.

I also have a 2.5bb with 35's. I have ordered a front bumper and will probably do an additional .5 to .75" front spacer to level things out. As far as the spare on back goes, if you open the back door and put it on while it's open, you can make it work. My 35's are on stock 17's and the tire rubbs the bumper when it's closed so you have to close it a little careful but not bad over all. It's not moving anywhere. The only issue will be overtime the effects on the door?

I thought remember reading someone say that the stock tire/ wheel on the rubi weigh 74 lbs. Does anyone know for themselves? I can't find where on the forum I read it!
