Is it just me, or does it look like my rear end end is sitting lower than my front. It looks like there is more of a gap between the top of the tires in the front and the fenders than the top of the tires in the rear and the fenders. I just put this 3" lift on with full springs and coils, and I noticed after I took these pictures that it seemed this way. What do you all think, or is this the way it should be and am I just seeing things?

measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender flare and compare to what it was stock, theres prolly someone on here that knows what it is stock, im not too sure what it is though...

first. a question. is that like a 3 inch lift?
second. possible answer to your question. the rear fender flare height on a stock xj is lower than the front. that's just how xj was designed. if you hay attention, you will see that the centerline of the truck is still parallel to the ground. so, you're actually sitting level.

having said that, i do think the rear of your truck is sitting lower. u said u put a new leaf-pack. are you sure that it was a 3" lift leaf-pack? i would just drop some shackles on it. my two cents.

If I remember right and its the RC lift the rear springs are 2",the coils are 3",to get rid of the factory rake.Which will make it sit level.

Thanks for all the info. You definitely answered my questions. I did measure and it is a half inch higher in the front than rear like it should be. I did notice that the jeep is still sitting level, and yes it is a RC series II lift. So I guess this is how it should be. I was thinking about adding shackles in the back to level out the gap between tires and all fenders. Is that not recommended? That would give me a little higher in the back than front. I getting new 31's next week and I just want it to look right. What should I do?

put the tires on and see how it looks,if you need to put shackles on thats easy
