No. I’m not sure why anyone would even consider that.

Because a regular spacer level makes the ride much harsher whereas if you reverse level the rear on an IFS vehicle the front suspension mechanics remains the same

I’ve got a 3” zone lift, hardly feels any difference than stock. A small level would be even far less noticeable 🤷‍♂️

Lifts and leveling kits are two totally different animals

They’re both using spacers and they both level the vehicle. The lift just uses a bigger one in the front than the back. As opposed to just a small one in the front and nothing in the back for a level.

Mine would be a Carolina Squat if I kept my 37” tire on the back door. I need to get a spacer kit for the rear, or 4-door springs

A spacer level kit shouldn’t make any noticeable difference in the ride quality, it only affects the angle of the A arms and CV joints a few degrees. The struts remain the same. Changing springs to something firmer would spoil the ride. I will be adding a 1.25” front spacer on my Badlands this year.

I'm not sure how you would even accomplish that without getting new rear springs (which would affect the ride). Plus for it to be 100% correct you'd probably need to get an adjustable track bar.

Seems like a cheap 1" leveling kit up front is a better solution.

He is talking about dropping the rear to level the vehicle, instead of lifting the front. It's pretty common actually on leaf sprung trucks where you can just install a shorter shackle (or longer depending on the orientation).
