Wait... I purchased and am waiting to install a MD Terrafirma kit(front and rear). Should I be concerned that my ride will not be level? I have the ARB winch/bull bar installed. Will I have rake without 1" rear spacers?

The TF HD 3" kit is actually very comfortable.

You'll be fine. I've seen a heavy duty custom bumper on stock springs and there wasn't really a rake. The 2" MD springs will be good.

Installed the new kit on Friday, couldn't be happier with the results! Several shock bushings on the OME kit I had on were blown. And the new ride quality and height blows the OMEs away.

Yes this is correct. I made the measurement from the roof rack rail to my garage door frame before and after so it's a median of the front/back. The spacer was 1" Do note that I used the standard length shocks as well. I was told you don't want to use the longer ones unless you get extended brake lines.

Here's the only profile picture I can find at the moment. It has a slight rake so you could forgo the spacer if you wanted.

Thanks for the pics and it is good to hear that everyone is liking their terrafirma kits. I ordered the TF springs and dampner from lucky8, but I found a set of OME shocks on CL that look good for very reasonable money, we will see. Thanks for the help!
