What size spacer do I want for my front end so I can ride level. TeraFlex has 0.5,0.75,&1 inch spacers.

Measure your Jeep at the top of the windows and that will tell you how much you need for your rake. I wood say 1 inch.

I have the TeraFlex Leveling kit, with rear and front spacers. It comes with a 1" spacer for the rear, and two 1" spacers for the front. It raises the Jeep about 1 1/2". It also comes with longer sway bar links for the front. For $130 it make the JK look better with 255R75-17 BFG MT tires. If you just want to level it, 1" should do it.

I used a 1.75 front and a .75 rear spacer with my 33x12.5 and I have a winch on the stock front bumper and it's sits level with hardtop on and slight rake with the hardtop off on my 12 jku altitude which has the Sahara springs.

This depends on whether you want to look good sitting empty in the driveway, or look good going down the road with 4 passengers and a pile of gear in back.

I like this 1" spacer idea, mine has 59 rear springs with max tow and is much higher in the back. Did you have any alignment issues or other problems with just adding the front spacer?

I just orders the Teraflex level kit quoted above. Plan to install it next weekend. Will I need to get my steering aligned and any other adjustments needed? Do I risk having any other problems?
