I have seen talk of this but wanted to see if anyone was running this combo? I have the mopar lift currently with 3/4 spacers up front. Mine still sits with around 1in rake from what I can tell. I have a set of rubicon rear springs laying in the garage and after the metalcloak fenders. I have kicked around lowering the back with the rubicon springs and if anything pull the front spacers. Wanted to see what combo the guys that are running stock rear springs ended up with. Thanks

Here’s the way the jeep sits after the fenders. I have also kicked around swapping the 3/4 spacer for tera flex 1.5” spacers up front to take more of the rake out.

Are you going to use it as a truck, or off-road vehicle?
If as a truck you'll want some rake to it as the back will naturally sag with payload or trailer tongue weight.
No one can really tell you what to do - it's up to you to make it how you want it, looks and function, or looks OR function and so on.

Also with all of the up and down and back and forth - be sure to check headlight aim.
I found just making mine more level with a load in the back I didn't get "flashed" a little, I got flashed by every vehicle that approached me.
It doesn't take much, especially if you had LED headlights.

I use it for a little bit of everything. Honestly I’d probably be better off to leave the rake.I guess I’m one of the ones that can’t leave anything alone. Lol It just looks to me like a good difference in rake but I think it’s the way the rear fenders are compared to the front. I’ve measured to the pinch seem on the bottom and got 1in higher in the rear.
