Have you checked your build sheet as to what options you have installed or came with your 02 WJ. My 04 WJ has the Up Country pkg. and the towing pkg. installed. It like most all of the Jeeps were setup that way for the rear to sit higher to make up for a load in the cargo area or towing.
Here is a photo of my WJ with an all steel race car trailer hooked to it with my XJ loaded to hit the trails, and it is level when loaded.

Yeah, that height difference is factory designed in for a level ride when loaded. You can just add pucks to the top of the front springs if you want, just remember to re-aim the headlights. I'd go with Up-Country shocks in the front also. Looks like a 2" BB should do it. 1.5" is all you need, but IDK if you can find them.
