Default Leveling question

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I believe I saw the answer to this somewhere but after about an hour of looking I couldn't find it so hopefully someone can help me out.
I'm in a 2012 JKU, I got a set of 17" wheels, that I bed lined and they look awesome, I just picked up some spider track spacers (1.5") and some 33x12.5x17 Mickey Thompsons, hopefully I get everything done on Friday. My question is if I husk wanted to correct the rake on the JKU what size coil spacers do I need. Not going with the leveling kit cause I wanna stay at the same height...any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks

I used the skyjacker 3/4" front coil spacers and it seemed to level the Jeep pretty well. The actual lift ended up being about an inch but has settled to the 3/4" it was supposed to be.
It was the FIRST thing I did because of the "rake" issue. They were like $25 and took about 30 minutes to install. Installed without even removing the wheels.

X2 I actually measured mine before my lift at the front and back of the pinch seams and it was a difference of 3/4".

If you want to be absolutely sure, go on the teraflex website and look up the full leveling kit. From there you can part it out, and get just the spacers you need. That should get you all the sizes for each of the spacers used, and give you part numbers for each. I believe each one can be bought by individually.

Teraflex and daystar both sell individual spacers. Like previous guy said, 3/4 or 1" should do it.
