Are you saying there is more lift in the front compared to the rear? If you got more lift in the front than the rear that is normal since the kit is designed to eliminate some of the rake. Also don't mearure to the fenders since those really don't tell you about level since the gaps are different between the front or rear. The frame rails is the best place to measure and find out if you are taller in the front or the back. My guess is that you are slightly taller in the back.

I have/had the same problem.
AEV is shipping the kits with progressive front springs and straight rate rears becasue the progressives for the 2 door are still not available.
Straight rates, by the design, are going to be more sensitive to weight so if you're a bit heavy in the rear, as am I, the straight rates exaggerate the problem.
I installed some 1" spacers in the rear and it sits just right now.
On an aside: It seemed logical to me to try the upper track bar mount on the TB tower since I was adding that inch. Umm, don't do that! I ended up with so much rear steer that the thing was a bit nerve racking to drive. I returned it to the lower hole and it drives great.
The last word I've heard about when the progressives will be available is "Spring".

where a measure must be take? The floor to the frame rail below the door????
Or the frame where the axe are????

[JeepinJon]

I measured mine frame to floor to determine the rake, and if it is towards the front or back. Also a picture to see what is happening would probably help to see what is going on.

Maybe i have the kits with progressive front springs and not progressive rear springs?

The progressive springs after 1000miles maybe have not the same lenght???

[trtdave]

I measure the floor to the frame between the wheel.
with the stock shock i have 21" front and 23.75" rear.
with the kit 27.25" and 27" rear.

I lift my front suspension to 21" at 27.25"=6.25"
I lift my rear suspension to 23.75" at 27"= 4.75"

This kit is 3.5" lift , i don't understand????

Do you have any aftermarket bumpers in the front or back? If you only have a rear bumper (or a full size 35" spare) this would explain the .25" of rake to the back.

[trtdave]

it all stock , no aftermarket bumper. I remove the spare and the rear seat.
It why i don't understand
