My buddy a doing my lift and said the rear sits about an inch higher then front. Will it really make a difference performance or looks wise? Hoping it will settle by itself..?

Just cosmetic,it will settle a little bit or you will throw a buncha crap in the back like me and then it will be lower in the back!My advice leave alone for a couple weeks or so and if it still bothers you still throw in a stock isolater up front

also make sure that the leaf/shackle bolts are tightened to 65-75 ft lbs
this should be tightened with the jeep on the ground!
when I first installed my springs I have this problem
good luck bud!

it only takes a few minutes to do and it is a VERY common mistake... also many people over tighten the leaf springs and shakles
