Default 2011 Stock Rake

I'm thinking about getting a leveling kit and small lift, probably 2" BB, so I went out to measure the height at the front and rear. I measured at the middle of the fender at both the front and back and they were the exact same height. Am I measuring in the wrong spot, or do the 2011's not have rake from the factory? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm still learning.

My 2011 Rubicon Unlimited had a definate rake in the front. I installed a Teraflex 2.5 coil and shock lift, 1" spacers in the front, and it sits even now with aftermarket bumper and winch.

There should be a rake built into the vehicle body but the wheel openings will likely have similar clearances.

AEV now has a 2" Spacer kit that also takes out some of this rake.
If you have no interest in replacing your OE springs or shocks for now you can get it for $260 shipped from David at Northridge next week.

It also comes with brake line brackets, shock extensions, bump-stops and new front sway links.
