Front ONLY leveling spacer. Who has done it and which did you get?

[ExJeeper]

So many options out there and Im just wondering why you chose what you did. I only want to bring the front up an inch. Any pics will be good too.

You have many options. Many have done it. You must 1st decide what you want... Do you want to get rid of the scent hound stance or do you want it truly, exactly level. A 1" makes it looks as it should've been delivered from Toyota. Almost 2.5" will make it dead level. IMHO 1.5"-2.0" is the right amount for a stock rear. If you tow or load down heavy with gear regularly then maybe the 1" is best.

Godd luck and read some of these:

CJ3, thanks for the links. I already read those earlier when I searched. I came away more confused after searching threads. So many threads contradict eachother. More questions:

So the factory rake is 2.5" lower in front? If so I would want 1.5-2" lift up front.

I keep reading a 1 nich spacer = 2 inch lift? Confused.

Do I want metal or poly spacer? Im thinking poly for ride or resonance dampening.

What part exactly do I need for 1.5-2" lift up front?

Is there more than one way to lift the front up?

Im used to lifting solid axle Grand Cherokees which = 4 spacers. The more I read on here the more Im confused. If its 2.5" lower then 1.5 or 2" is what I want. Thanks again everyone with what must be a redundant post here.

1) Yes. It seems to range between 2.25

I installed a 1-inch Daystar spacer when I installed my ARB bumper. I figured it would level the truck slightly and acommodate the bumper. I think it looks level with just the 1-inch.

Northeast... just the guy I'm looking for. Which daystar 1" did you get? Can you provide a part number or more detail as to what you installed? I have seen a couple different daystar spacers and have become confused. Help me out - as many pics as you have too...

I'll see if I can find the paperwork tomorrow and get back to you. I will also upload some pictures.
