Default 3/4 rear and 1-3/4 front BB ?

Once again thanks for all the info everyone has shared so far.

I have ordered the 1.5 Spidertrax spacers and plan on running 33's on my stock 17 inch rims. My JK is a full inch lower in the front though. I thought about a 1 inch spacer but can't find one. Is there such an animal? If not how about a BB that is 3/4 rear and 1-3/4 front? My Jk will probably not see any off roading so flex and travel is not an issue. Being level and having a nice even stance is. Just don't want togo too high(just realized how funny that is to say on a jeep forum )

You pretty much just described the Full Traction 2" BB. The fronts spacers are taller than the rear to help level things out. However, I personally don't think you'd want to completely level things out as once you load up your Jeep, your rear end will sag noticably. Need I say, you'll have a problem that looks even more silly and headlights that shine in everybodys eyes.

Sure, you can do that and your Jeep will probably look a lot more level completely empty but load her up and I'd be willing to bet that your rear end will look like it's drooping. At least, that's what I have started to see. Also, 1" spacers typically have an actual measurement of 3/4".
