place jeep on level surface, like in a garage or cement pad. measure the rear from ground to middle of fender edge. write that down. move to the front and do the same, subtract the front number from the rear and that's the size spacer you need. round down to the closest one they make, you down want a front rake would look funny.

here is what I found worked for me. I measured a point on the front end of my jeep took a jack and a piece of 2X4 and put the 2x4 under the front bumper and jacked it up to take weight off the springs until it looked level and measured to the same point and that is what size spacer I needed. in my case it was 1" the first time. I have used this on both front and rear to see what various size lifts would look like.
