I thought there was a forum for these but I don't see one on my phone. Please move this if I'm wrong.

Anyway, I'm looking for pics of Cherokees with a rake (rear end higher than front). Please specify the height difference between front and rear, and how it compares to stock. Thanks

 

I dont think many people have that. Personally it would look kinda dumb to have a raked xj but then again I've never seen 1

 

The only time i have seen one or mine has been that way was when i removed everything out to do some interior work(36 in spare, tools, extra parts,fluids) and the rest of the stuff i carry. Then it sits about 1.5 to 2 in higher. other than that its not the norm.

 

Mine is kind of racked I have about 2 1/2 inchs in front and 3 in the rear. I really don't see any benefit too it but then again mine isn't an extreme difference in front or rear and it really wasn't what i was going for when I lifted it. I have rancho parts up front and pro comp for leafs in back.

 

I want to do a bastard pack, and I was wondering what it would look like if it doesn't come out as planned on the first try. I know some Wrangler guys rake 1" ±.5" to keep downforce on their hood at highway speed. Thought there might be some XJs with a similar look (intentional or not).

 

I haven't measured for sure yet but I'm guessing my rear has about an inch to inch and a half on my front.

 

Thanks, jcwclm. That's what im looking for. Any others?

 

Mine sits about a half inch higher in the rear. Not to noticeable but its there.

 

No prob.

 

Hmm I think my front was raked lol

 

Thanks guys.

I think you have it backward lol

 

I have a r.e. 4.5" and the rear never seemed to settle, so it has a bit of rake. I estimate it at 1" - 1.5". Its kinda hard to tell with my trimmed front fenders, but if you look down the lower body line and the tops of the tires you can tell.

 

Great looking Jeeps! I thought the rake would look terrible but im not even noticing it unless I really look.

On a side note, im at a diner right now. The front half of the red Jeep is brown, and I couldn't stop myself from parking inches away from the chromed up black H2 in the lot

 

 

Just measured. 31" from ground on the front, 27.5" back. Just a spare tire and a gas tank skid in the back. I need to do something about this lol
