Getting rid of the frot rake
I'm about to purchase a steel bumper (stubby most likely) and a winch in the next week or so for my 2 door sport. I have a 2.5 inch bb on it right now. I know the front is gonna be weighed down with the bumper and winch. So how could I just get it back level? Would just putting 4 door rubicon coil springs in the front work? Thanks for any help

x2 on getting the 2.5" coils. Other then that adding a 3/4" - 1" spacer should bring back what you lost. The only thing though is that I am not sure it's compatible with your RC spacers(metal). I know it works for other rubbing spacers where they are just stacked onto each other. Hopefully some RC owners will chime in to confirm this...

So when you put 2 adults, recovery gear, and a weekend's worth of stuff in the stock Jeep, does it still have a rake or is it now level? Or worse yet, has it become a tail-dragger? Something to consider when looking at the empty Jeep in your driveway.

Yes, when you have gear loaded as well as have rear passengers....However, the OP will be installing a heavy aftermarket front bumper. This will further exaggerate the factory rake....
