Best way to raise rear 1.5 inches?

[Advntrbound]

2020 Sport S MT. I just put on some new 35 inch shoes. Before I went to the tire store I measured front and rear fenders. I gained exactly 1 inch but on both measurents my rear is 1 inch lower. Now this assumes that the fenders are suppose to be perfectly the same height. Seat test feels like Im sitting low in the rear. What is the best way to measure and if I am in fact low, what is the best way to raise the rear?

How would tires make you lower in the rear?

What is your suspension setup? Stock or lift coils? Cool spacers?

I never said they did.

It appears to be stock. I bought it used so I don't know exactly what has been done. Pic of rear coil.

Those are max tow coils. How about the front? My guess is there is a leveling kit or springs.

If you determine you are in fact lower in the rear, there are tons of spacer options out there to remedy that. I personally like the Teraflex spacers to level the JT.

How did you identify these as Max Tow springs? I'll snap a pic of the fronts when I get home. I do know that there are pucks and shock extender brackets on the front.

The blue rubber wraps. All the max tow springs I have seen, including mine have that. Rubicon springs tend to have gray, and sport/Sahara black from my observation.

My guess is the front has a 2.5” rough country level kit which will over level it. Grab some 1” rear spacers and you should be good.

@XJFanatic here is the front Springs.

Those look like 3” spacers. You can barely see my 2” spacers sticking out of coil buckets.

Any pics of the rig from the side?

FWIW I have 2” spacers front and back plus diesel springs up front. That gave me 3.5” lift up front. My rig sits almost perfectly level at this point.

Pic is kind of skewed. My driveway Is fairly steep.

 

[XJFanatic]

I would definitely say you are sitting closer to 3” up front.

here is mine with 35s for comparison.

I dont think the color of the wraps are going to be a good indicator of which springs you have, Mine is an Altitude (sport) and those wraps are gray not black,

I bought these but considering you have a 3" block in the front you could save $$ by doing a block in the rear.

Keep in mind that you might want to put a block for the bumps too.
