new lift raked
hey everyone,
i just had an arb 2.5" light load lift put in and my jeep is raked. will it settle? or do i need to do something to the front to level it out? any help would be great.
also, i'd like to get some 31s on there - think they'll fit? any way i can check for sure? (those are 235/75r15's on there now...)
thanks,

hmmm i'm no mechanic — i had a place do it for me. your question makes me assume they're front and back specific (which makes sense). is that something i can crawl under and check? what would i look for?
also, if it helps at all, this is what came with the kit:
2 front coils
2 leaf springs
2 (N35) front shocks
2 (N36) rear shocks
1 transfer case spacer kit
2 front 10MM trim spacers
2 rear main eye bushings
2 shackle bushings
4 spring u bolts with nuts.

Ok, so I can take a leaf out to get the rear down level with the front?
And, I don't know if you can tell from the pic but, if I remove the leaf, are 31s in my future? Or do I need to raise the front to match the rear?

No, I don't lick fish.
Generally speaking though, 2.5" of lift will allow you to run a 30x9.5r15 tire without much issue. You still will want to consider running an aftermarket wheel with less backspacing to eliminate rubbing of the LCAs and sway bar.
I ran 31's on stock suspension with fender trimming and aftermarket wheels and, if I'd been properly bumpstopped, I would have never rubbed a single tire. The key is all in how you set it up.

Need some advice on a small budget lift. I'm looking at a maximum of a two inch lift. I don't do much if any wheeling. But I do some off-road driving when camping.
