Default stock rake

What is the best way to measure how much rake my jk has? Trying to decide if I need a half inch or a one inch space to level it out

I have a 2011 Rubi Unlimited, and I put on a 2.5 lift, plus a 1" spacer up front to accomodate the new bumper and Warn winch. It now sits level.

Just lift the front up with a jack until it looks good. then measure the difference in height.

Park on a relatively flat and level surface. Take a tape measure and measure from the ground to the bottom of the fender, with tape measure centered on the wheel.
