What is the typical size for front spacers used to level these things out? My front sits a little lower due to the factory rake. I'd like to make it level. My thought was either a 1/2" spacer or 3/4" spacer.
 
I've used 3/4" on a couple previously, to level them out. However, I've gotten passed installing spacers and embraced the slight rake. Once I load the Jeep down with gear, and sometimes people, it settles in nicely.
 
You can also stack an additional spring isolator on top of the factory one. It’s 3/4 inches.

@starkey480 has some 1.75" spacers for the front and 1" for the rear. I'm going to try that. The hope is that I'll yield an even 1" of lift.

Looking at the front, it appears to be around .75" lower right now. Between that and the 1" body lift, I'll be sitting at 2" of lift and have room for a bit of a tuck.

If I didn't already own a close clone to it then I'd highly consider it.

How about you put those 35's on the Silver jeep. I heard you can run 35's with no lift :p

For my Jeep, Dave took out the factory 3/4" spacer and added a 1-3/4" spacer to level it out. We were able to get a bit of additional shock travel from this given I am running 11" fox shocks with the long free length Savvy 3" springs (note that front did not get 3" lift though my jeep is quite light).

It sounds like my plan should work perfectly then 👍

What exactly IS your plan? Level the Jeep, add a BL, then TT, run 32's, then done?

1” coil spring spacers, 1” body lift, and a tuck 👍

The 1" coil spring spacers (1.75" in the front) are a suggestion from Blaine. He suggested doing it this way as oppose to 1" H&R springs due to the fact that the factory springs are the only factory progressive rate (not progressive wound) springs available for the TJ.

I'll end up with 2" of total lift which will work great for the 265s. The advantage is that by going with the body lift, I can tuck things up underneath which will be better for the off-road exploring I want to do. I don't plan on dragging the underside, but we all know how low that factory skid plate hangs.

Plus, I'd also like to potentially run the GenRight extended range fuel tank.

Are you still putting a Savvy bumper up front? I remember you putting one on awhile back.

I sold it to @Alex01. I'm just going to run the stock front bumper as I'm going for the stock look. I also like the factory fog lights, but for some reason they never look right on any other bumper than the stock bumper (in my opinion at least).
