I have a 17 Jk with a 4” lift, I just took off the spare tire and plated the tailgate, but not I have a noticeable rake in the rear, would it be a bad idea to put 1/2 or 1 inch coil spacers only in the front to level it out?

I'm no lift kit builder guy but if you're at 4" of lift already I don't think going up to a 4 1/2" to 5" lift is the way to go.

Also think about the weight of future add-ons before making too many changes.

So your going to run without a spare? I'd just deal with the rake. Or throw a 50lb weight under the rear carpet and call it a day. [emoji6]

never understood why people get rid of the spare...

My buddy used to run without a spare, last time he called me because he got a flat while at the mall I let him wait for the tow truck.

He now has carries it on the inside but has no room for much of anything else :doh:

Or put some 3” springs in the rear
