Default Leveling kit

What size front spacer do I need to level my 2017 JKU Sahara.
No winch or bumpers, no bigger tires maybe a set of wheels as close to stock as possible. I've seen from 1/2 to 1 3/4 inch, I'm thinking 1 inch. I just want to do this once is why I'm asking.
Thanks for reading!!!!

I would go with a 1.5 inch leveling kit like the Teraflex kit. Price is good and you can do this in your driveway with basic hand tools, jack and jack stands.

I think 1" in the front would level it out. The terraflex kit comes with 2" spacer for the front and 1" for the rear.

I think Terraflex has a 1 inch pair for the front only. I'mtrying to just do this once, I don't want to use 1 inch and it not be enough or use 1 1/2 and it be to much. I thought someone might have done it before.
Thanks Lurch!!!!!!

I would install the full TF leveling kit. I have seen a lot of Sahara's with lower springs in the front. You really are not raising that much to notice a huge difference. I installed it on my 2 door. I also added wheel adapters which pushed out the tires and wheels giving it a nicer looking stance.

To simply level the front and not do anything else, I would say 1". I put a Teraflex 3/4" spacer on the front of my 2014 2DR Rubi a few days ago with no other add ons, stock bumpers etc. and I think there is still a slight dip in the front. I think the 1" spacer would have been perfect.
