[QUOTE="Boosthead, post: 434529, member: 18768"] Depends on whether you're looking at rake based on the gap between the tire and fender or if you want the frame to be level. Whichever is your concern, fill the gas tank, load up with the gear you normally carry, and then measure the gap. The difference between the front and rear measurements will indicate the size spacer you need to level. If you're looking for a precise ride height, use spacers as springs will provide some variability in lift depending on how your jeep is equipped. For example, brand S lift springs provided 1" more than rated. Brand M provided 2" over the rated lift height. I don't carry much gear in either my JKU or JK so I have the rear height set 1/2" higher than front when measured at the pinch seam. [/QUOTE]
