Default Full traction Long Arm Rake?

I am going to install a Full Traction Log arm next week (4") and I was wondering if I needed a small spacer for the front end? I do not want a front end Rake! I have a pretty light front end, only weight is from the Pure Jeep Stubby which weighs around 60lbs I think. I will be adding a winch and stinger later on but it will be 6 months or more.

You guys running the FT LA using small (3/4-1") spacers in the front with the coils or no?

i can tell you running coils could ultimately screw the coils up if you dont have the right bumpstops.

mine still has the rake (minimal), but its designed that way for a reason. I'm not sure why everyone wants to take the rake out..

I don't mind a little. I have a little now, and I think it is ok, but I don't want the front 2" lower than the rear. You meant running spacers without the right bumpstops right? I am not talking about 2" of spacer... it would be less than 1" or I would consider getting different coils.
