I still have a lot of rake. 21.75" in front and 23.5" in back. I think I am supposed to have top plate spacers in my kit but they were not sent. Do these spacers go between the top plate with the bolts and the jeep? Will the spacers only make a half inch increase? I am using 1/2" clevis spacers. This rake is starting to annoy me.

Yes, the top plate goes between the shock mount and the body. A 1/4" plate will lift 1/2"

Looking at the JBA site pics, looks like the top plates were left out of my kit. Will I get a lot of noise with the rear upper Iso's removed?

You should of had a top plate in there for an extra 1/2 inch
DO NOT ADD any more clevis , you're already at 1/2 inch which is pushing it no matter what is suggested
Do not run without a isolator at the top or bottom in the rear

I have the 4" JBA springs in back. I emailed Marlin about the top plate spacers. I am sure I will still have some rake after I install them, just less than now.

It shouldn't be to bad. I have a little rake but I think mine is due to ordering the HD springs up front.
