Default 0.75" suspension leveling kit

What are your opinions on having just a 0.75" spacer kit / suspension leveling kit on the front to make my 2012 jeep unlimited level? I'm going to keep 32s on there untill they wear out and then replace them with 33s. Anybody got any pics of their jeep with this setup?

I just have the 3/4" spacers up front on my 13 with 285/75-16 tires. I like the stance but everybody has different tastesl

I put 1" spacers on my front, sits perfectly level for now. Took about 20 mins to install and will get me by until I can afford a lift!

I think a 1" lift would be better if you're planning to put 33s as your next tire.

I have the teraflex 2/1 in leveling kit with monroe reflex monotubes. I love this setup. Also put on 1.25" wheel spacers, the stance of my Jku is perfect for the type of wheeling I do.

That's a good inexpensive way to get rid of the rake. That said, you don't need to lift to run 33's. Your 32's don't measure 32" when they're mounted and most 33's measure a little over 32" when mounted. My 33's (no leveling or lift for now) measure 32.2" mounted.

Yep. I ran my Cooper st Maxx with no lift and they measure a true 33". But they rubbed at almost full lock and when some flexing situations.

Here is the type of flexing where they will rub. Without trimming or increased bump stops.

Another shout out to TF I did the level kit 2 " front 1" spacer out back with stock shocks for now.

Rolling on MT ATZ 33's very very happy with the set up and ride. Jeep is level now and it's amazing to me how such a mild change with the level kit makes a huge difference in appearance and no rubbing

I've seen other Jeep around town with same wheels and tires no lift and the wheel wells look stuffed...IMHO

I would suggest at least a 2/1 inch lift

Good luck on your decision....
