coil spacer 3/4" vs 1 3/4"
I have a RR Xhd Bumper with Winch.
The front sags.
I read some post about people adding coil spacers.
Some put 3/4 some put 1 3/4.
what do you guys recommend?
( i dont have a lift )
will 3/4 give me the factory rake & the 1 3/4 make my Jeep level?

Why not just walk outside and measure? Makes a bit more sense than asking people who have never seen your jeep or how it is set up.
If the front is 3/4" lower than the rear, get a 3/4" spacer.
If the front is 1 3/4" lower, consider adding new front coils instead of spacers.
If the front is 3/4" lower than the rear, get a 3/4" spacer.
If the front is 1 3/4" lower, consider adding new front coils instead of spacers.

Measure from the ground through the center of your wheel to the lower lip of your fender front & back - see what the differece is if it's 3/4" and you want to keep the rake.. put in a 1/2" spacer if you don;t like the rake put in a 3/4" spacer..
Personally I hate rake.. so my front is 1" higher then the rear and you can put a level on my hard top and it will bead up

It seemed to me that the factory rake had the front, even if not higher than the rear. When I put my aev bumper and warn 9.5ti winch, I used a 1 3/4" spacer in the front and a 1" spacer in the back. It made the jeep slightly higher in the back and gave me a 3/4 to 1" lift. When I put 200lbs of tongue weight on, I sit level. The way I judged was to put the jeep on very level ground and eyeball and measure to bottom of hard top and front body line. Good Luck!

Measure the front height center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender flair. Place a floor jack under the front and lift it till you like it. Measure again to find the difference you need.
