The 99 TJ, 4 cyl I bought a while back was all stock suspension wise. It sat 2" lower in front then the rear. I installed 1.75 spacers up front and its almost level now. Suspension upgrades are in the near future thus the question here. Hypothetically If I installed a 2" or 2.5" lift going back with the OEM spring isolators Im thinking it will be 2" or 2.5" higher, front and back, but still with unwanted rake. So...it seems for a 2" suspension kit to make this sit level the front springs will actually need to lift the front close to 4" and the rear 2" for it to sit level? This pretty much true or do you guys just add a spacer to level things out? TIA.
 
You can't determine how exactly new springs will make your jeep sit based on how your jeep sat with old stock springs. Just get the 2" lift kit and adjust with spacers if necessary.
