Default 1 or 2 front spacers for leveling kit

Hi everyone. I plan to install the teraflex leveling kit (spacer kit). For all of you who installed this kit did you decide on 1 or 2 front spacers? Please explain your choice and post pics if you can.

I have a 2010 4dr JKU Mountain edition and my only concern is whether 1 spacer will give the jeep an aggressive enough look (ie is it noticeable) or whether 2 front spacers would give the appearance if my rear end dragging. I tried to measure my rake and it seems like it is not a full inch.

Thanks

With single spacers up front it won't be that noticeable since your lifting front and back only one inch. I installed two spacers (2") up front.

NCB, your rubi looks great. Just the stance I'm looking for.
Anyone else with thoughts on this??

2 spacers both sides in front. 1 spacer would not level.

So......nobody has experienced a rear end sag by using both spacers up front to level? I'm just nervous that I will have a reverse rake. No one is experiencing this??

That sits great, mind listing your wheel and tire specs?

Thanks
