Nose dive
#1
I'll be installing a front and rear Smittybilt SRC soon. Also adding a Quadratec Q9500i Stealth to front bumper. Eventually I want to run some type of 33's with no lift. I need help because I don't want to double buy parts. I'm looking for everyday comfort with yet a somewhat aggressive look and decent tires later.
1. What's my best option to level front (take nose dive away)?
2. Will bumper and winch add to nose dive (more droop)?
3. Is the nose dive something I can deal with now and not have to repurchase parts later, if I don't plan on a lift? Trying to make sense to y'all of what I'm thinking. Lol

You are going to have to take things apart anyway. Have you considered replacing springs? Maybe EVO plush ride which you can add on as you go or even a leveling kit with coils. Teraflex has a kit and EVO has one with coils in front and spacers in back. Leveling kit will run you about $150. Actually a member just posted a brand new leveling kit with pucks for $125 shipped!

OP, what you're talking about is "rake". Wranglers come from the factory with the front lower than the rear to help aerodynamics and fuel economy. A leveling kit does exactly what it sounds like you want.
+1 on adding swaybar disconnects if you plan on doing much work offroad. Allowing the front axle to float makes for a much more composed crawl over the slow technical rocky stuff, and can help you find better traction when the front end is flexing hard.
