Is it normal to need to add a spacer? The more I've been looking at the before and after, the more they look no, or very little different up front. Why is that the case?

I think I know what is wrong... lift the rear end of the jeep back up...
loosen all the leaf spring and shackle bolts...
set the jeep back down on the ground
tighten all those bolts back up to 65-85 ftlbs

You think it's the binding of the springs and shackle? it is a good tip though. I know on some cars with wishbone suspension you're supposed to torque things down with a load on them. If you want just jack up the car with the axle as that would simulate a load.
It could also be the rear leafs need more time to settle? My car looks the same as the rear is 1.5" higher than the front so I'm going with new springs to even it out.

Are they brand new springs? Maybe they need to break in for a bit. Throw some bags of salt/sand or a dead hooker in the trunk for a couple weeks and see if anything changes. If you go the hooker route, your car might stink though...

I usually find me a nice big dead hooker... around 350-500lbs... PERFECT for breaking springs

Did you add an extra 1.75" shackle from your old budget boost to your 3" lift spring, giving it 4.75" in the rear?

build a rear tire carrier... problem solved. 
personally, id rather have a racked look than the rear sagging.

I don't mind the rear being jacked up a little...I like the height of the rear. I'm just wondering if the front is high enough...from pics when I look side by side it doesn't appear like it was lifted much at all. But my problem is I didn't take before measurements.......
