Default Odd rake question

Has anyone else noticed that some 4 door Sahara models (especially 2007) came with less forward rake than others. Mine for example had much less rake than my friends 4 door Rubicon.

Curious to know if anyone else has noticed this. If so, do you know why???

Cheers!
Cory

That's what I thought too, but I believe he has higher numerical springs.

I might add that mine was an auto with no tow package, no need from the factory to be concerned over tongue weight maybe.

It just seems weird, mine has never had that particularly nasty forward rake, so not complaining, just bored and thought I'd ask.

My '08 2-door Rubi on 33's sits higher in the back and lower in the front than my '10 2-door completely stock Rubi. the '08 is a Red Rock and the '10 is a Surf Blue maybe they found a lighter paint?
