Old fart with a wrench
Welcome to CF!
This has come up many times. I have been told there is a 1.5" built in suspension height difference front-to-rear to maintain stability at highway speed when loaded. It may be just corporate BS but it's a good reason all WJs have this. In my experience, I've put 1/2 a ton in the back and only changed it the other way, low in the back by 1.5". At that point, the headlights are raised and the steering gets lighter.
I would think the easiest way to level it out is to put 1.5" spacers in the front springs and do nothing else. The lift is well within the limits of the suspension. Maybe add Upcountry shocks in the front and get it checked for alignment. JMHO.

I think 4x4's look strange if they are level, no room for any added weight, 2wd's not as bad. Does yours have the Up-Country package in stalled on it?

You can run your VIN and get a build sheet for your jeep. There are lots of sites to do this. Google is your friend.

I had no idea of all my WJ had on it for options till I ran the VIN on it and received the build sheet from Jeep, I was dumbfounded never knew about 50% of what it had installed from the factory.
