Factory rake
I have a 2013 2 door stock JK with Rubicon tires/ 17" wheels. I want to level the front with out have to get longer shocks or sway extensions. Can I get away with a 1" coil spacer or a .75" coil spacer? I've searched the threads and see that .75" looses the factory rake, but no detail on any other parts that may be needed. Also wanted to know if 1.5" wheel spacers will be enough to get my tires to stick out more of the fenders, just like the look when they stick out a bit.

1.5" spacers are great for getting those stock tires out a little more. I bought a set of Rough Country 1.5" spacers myself and paid $114 for all 4 shipped to my door from them. These spacers have worked perfectly with my stock wheels and tires. I am now running 285/70/17 BFG A/T tires with stock wheels, and spacers bring the stance just where I like it. They also make the ride more stable on turns, and are cheaper than aftermarket wheels.
No alignment needed. The only things that can be adjusted are toe in, ( which won't change ) and steering wheel centering. ( which won't change on that small of a lift ) both are very easy to do yourself anyway
As Dkehler said, you'll be good on alignment. You'll be just fine to do any trail you see, just have to be smart on picking the right path.
