It looks lower in the rear
I put a RC 3" lift on my 99XJ and it looks lower in the rear. Could I put a extended shackle on the rear to make it look level without harming anything else? it has a RC tc drop kit on it.

did you get the ALL kit? or full packs? and how new is the whole kit. It does take time to settle...
Also, ALL will not be as effective and continue to sag on older leaf packs.
you can add a shackle with out harming anything.

I put an RC 3in lift on mine and I thought the same thing, but if you look at the body lines as to where the flares are the back ones set lower compaired to the front.

as wahoo pointed out the body lines can be deceiving as the rear fender wells are smaller than the fronts and its not just jeeps, ive noticed it aswell when lifting 4runners.
best way to check is park on flat level ground and measure from the ground to your rocker panels

if you really want to check.
stock front (from axle to frame) is 6.75"
stock rear (from axle to frame) is 6"
anything over that is your lift
