Default opinion on my 3-4in lift

So I lifted my xj a couple weeks ago on the Budget lift. Went with the upcountry v8 grand cherokee springs with 2 spring isolators on each side and a combination of XJ main, s-10 main, xj, s-10, xj springs in the rear. I was shooting for around 3" all the way around. Hit it spot on in the front but the back is about an 1" taller. Doesn't look too awkward but definitely noticeable. Im thinking about just keeping it that way so when I build my rear bumper and possible rear tire carrier or when hauling the camping gear or xtra people it will have the extra support. Ideas? Sorry about the lifted pic but the only camera i have is on my iphone and don't know how to zoom!

Before:

and after the lift 3in in front 4in in rear:

nah it actually looks straighter then it did stock , you cant look at the hood cause it slants , but your roof line looks pretty level,

Thanks guys. The stock rear was saggin pretty bad so the xtra inch or so that the s-10 springs gave it i think helped it out. I did get the materials to make some spacers for the front but I think I will hold off for now! Now I just need my 31's!!!!
