X2, load it down with some heavy stuff and drive around for a few days. It will level out. I think it looks just fine like it is, but an inch lower in the back would look good too.

Another vote for leave it. You'll like it sitting that way once you start loading the thing down in the back. Plus, like others have said, you probably still have not fully broken in the leaf springs so it should settle some.

^ what he said. it looks good as it is.
when i installed my first lift. it sat perfectly level. looked good.
then the rear started to sag from my upgrades (bumper, tire swing-out, armor, gear that i carry, etc.). looked like crap.
then i boosted the whole thing, but boosted the rear a little more to compensate. now it sits a wee bit higher in the rear, like yours. i didn't like the look at first, but now i love it.

You got any pictures of your Jeep? I'm just curious to see what it looks like with the same lift and them spacers...ACOS adjustable coil spacers. You'll want 'em eventually!!!

You gotta get out and wheel and flex on those leafs and coils quite a bit for about 6 months...then see where it sits.

I put a 4.5" RE super flex kit on and my rear leaf springs have not settled one bit!! That's why I installed the ACOS spacers.

What upgrades do you have to the 4.5" SF kit? You most definitely sit higher than me. Aside from the spacers up front, I should say...
Edit: They look like 35's atleast as well, correct? Maybe you haven't updated your signature.

I vote leave it... all the re lifts i've done take a good 6-9 months of good wheeling carring people or gear to settle into their claimed lift. Bumpers and gear help it along also.

My bad!! Didn't change my sig. I just put my 33s back on. It doesn't have the MTRs anymore. As far as upgrades to the lift, I have none. All leaf spring in the rear and ACOS in the front.
Maybe the RE lift I got was the eception, but It's been in there for a year now and there hasn't been more than about a 1/4" of settling. I had huge ProtoFab bumpers on it for many months as well, including a 32" spare and swing out carrier on the back.
Mine hasn't settled.
