How much lift up front to level it out?
When I put the Black Diamond 3" lift on it went up a full 4 5/8" in front and an even 2" in the back. It looks very level now. If I had to guess, about 2 1/2" would completely get the rake out, though I would think even 3/4" would help.
I am not sure of the measurements, but Currie sells an adjustable front long travel leveling kit:

Thanks, I will try the 3/4" spacer. I will never tow with this vehicle, so the squat is a non issue. Can't really tow enogh with one of these so I got mine without the tow package, and with the hooks. More of a rec vehicel here, and just want the front end to be level with the rear. We will be doing more moderate off raod type stuff, so more travel isn't really needed wither.
I got a 08 and will put a winch, and heavy bumper on....so I added weight to the front end to see how much it sags : 100 lbs. went down 3/8", 146 lbs..... went down 3/4", 228 lbs. went down 1 3/8". So I will put a 2" lift up front.....wadaya think ?
i am in the process of changing from my current winch/winch plate with stock bumper set up to a diffrent bumper that is winch ready. I know that the diffrence from winch and winchplate to none was about 3/4". I will measure today with the bumper and winch on when i get it done.

No winch or heavy bumper for me, if the 3/4" spacer will do it that should work fine. Has anyone here done this, and do you have a pic of it after the spacer installed on a stocker JK?
I put the 3/4" coil spaces on mine and it still had a rake. NOTICEBLY! After I put on my PJ front stubby it was even worse. Then I put on a Powerplant and it looked like a Dragster. I just got new Full Traction HD front springs. That should fix it. I might put the coil spacers on also.
