Fender flare wouldn't Be an accurate measurement.. Go out and check, one way to check is measure where the rock rails are. Or use a level on the rock rails, measure it and jack it up till its level and then measure it again to see how much you actually need... Or if your not happy with the front sagging, just throw a ton of bricks in the back, and it'll be level

I'm looking to add a spacer up front -- I hate the look with a rake. Million dollar questions is what is the easiest way to determine what size spacers you need? Can you simply measure, on a level surface, from the rock rail to grade, front and back, and use the difference? For example 15" front and 16" in the back -- get a 1" spacer??

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I think I'm going to go ahead and go with the brick suggestion- KIDDING! I've decided to go with just the 2" spacers made by Black Diamond (not that the brand really matters- or so I've been told?) I'm curious, though- will I need extra parts for the front end? I'm getting mixed answers here...

X2 on using new springs instead of spacers. Springs cost very little more than spacers and take the same amount of work to install. With spacers over the top of overworked springs you still have overworked springs, with less suspension travel, a tendency to sag even further, and a crappier ride.

Whats your front coil tag say.
Also I put a winch and a rough county bumper on my jeep and only lost about an inch. So I put a 3/4 spacer on and it leveled it out perfect
