Default front lift only

Recently I've added a heaver bumper and skid plate to my 08 Rubicon. My front end is now a lot lower than before from the added weight. To remedy this I'm think of a 1 or 1.5 inch lift/level. The questions are can you lift the front end only ? (To level out the jeep.) What will the effect be on the rest of the suspension components be? I will be staying with stock tire size . And what kind of power train warranty issues can come up?

Thanks,
Gsw

Yes you can add spacers to the front to even it out. Your suspension is already off level so adding spacers up front to level it out wont hurt anything. As far as warranty, that is gonna differ a lot from dealer to dealer, but the main thing is they would have to have some concrete reasoning and prove that the modifications you made to the suspension caused damage to your powertrain and it most cases they will make up some BS. But with spacers up front you should be ok. worst case senario somthing happens and it needs work take the spacers off and then take it in.
