This 2016 JKU is my 3rd build and I'd like to level the jeep, getting rid of the rake, at least initially.

I've read several threads about leveling kits, but most are adding some to the front and a little less to the rear. I'm not planning on adding anything to the rear for now, just to the front...what would be the best amount to add in order eliminate the rake? (factory bumpers, no winch, no armor, no other add-ons really at this point)

Looking at the Rokmen Off Road spacers (JK Coil Spring Lift & Leveling Spacers), but just not sure what to go with for the front only, 1" or 1.5"?

Thoughts?

 

Well, you can add two pucks in front and one in rear to get a little lift and fix the rake as well. I did this on my JK. What are your spring rates. Some come with lower numbers in front.

 

not looking for a lift just yet, just leveling the front and wanting to know what size spacer/puck would accomplish that, without touching the rear suspension?

 

Measure the gap between fenders and the tires, front and rear. Keep in mind that the front fenders are on a higher plane than the rears. If you want it to look level then make the wheel well gaps equal. An inch higher in the front leveled my Jeep.

 

1" puck in the front will level your Jeep. 1.5" will make it look at bit nose high.

 

looks like just a little over an inch. wish Romken had a 1.25" spacer....that would be perfect, i think! i'm a big guy, so we'll try the 1.5" and see what happens, since i add a little extra sag to it i assume. lol

 

I have a 2" spacer in front and 1/2" in the rear and my JKU sits a little nose high. I would go with the 1"

 

darnit! i pulled the trigger on the 1.5" yesterday. oh well, i know i'll be adding an aftermarket bumper and winch before too long.

thanks!

 

You can get 3/4" spacers from synergy for $20. Depending on weight of your jeep, this should be all you would need.

 

I agree 1" in front. I really really liked the Teraflex 1.5 leveling kit with the stock wheels and tires. Until I put the 34x11.5 Toyos on totally bad ass looking!!
