Default Max height for front coil spacers

I've finally gotten around to adding a bumper and winch to the front end of my stock 2010 4-door Rubicon. I am looking to level it and remove the factory rake. What is the tallest amount of spacers I can add to the front coils before I start getting into trouble? Anyone know where I could buy longer swaybar links if that is whats needed? I have no interest in adding any real lift or one of the Teraflex leveling kits, I’m leaving the rear springs alone, and running the stock 32’s. Thanks.

To see what you need to get out the rake, go measure from the front wheelwell to the ground. Then jack up the front end until the Jeep looks level and sits the way you want, and measure from the wheelwell to the ground again. The difference is the size of the spacer(s) you need.

3/4" - 1" will take out the factory rake, and say the bumper/winch sank the front end 3/4", you are looking at about 1.5" of spacer. Since that will lift it less than 1" above factory, there are no other mods you should need to do.
