Does anyone have a before and after pic with 3/4 or 1" coil spacers I did a search and nothing came up I just wanted to get an idea on how it looked!

I put 3/4" Daystar spacers on the front of mine to help compensate for the winch and bumper (along with Rubicon springs). While there is about a 1 1/2" difference, you can't really notice it without a tape measure.

I don't have a comparative picture, but I hope this helps. I don't think many folks take before and after pictures of a 3/4" coil spacer since it's such an insignificant installation. It's really easy to do and only makes a difference to someone who knows there's a forward rake to begin with. If you see the Jeep in motion in the real world, you'll never notice it's there. You only notice it if the Jeep is parked on an even surface, during the day, with the sun behind you and sober. Besides that, you'll never know.
Here you go:

After coil spacers (I sold my hardtop and stuck with the soft top.):

After wheel spacers (coil spacers where already installed also):

the 3/4 inch spacers in the front really make it sit alot better (sorry no pics) if you have a heavier bumper and a winch, you may want to double them up!

Thanks for some of the feedback guys I just want a little bit more of a lift, my tires rub pretty good in the rear and was thinking about adding 3/4 or the 1" spacers and still be able to get in the garage! I wanted to see some pics to see if it was worth it or not

You should still be able to get in the garage with a 3" lift and 35s though. How low is your garage opening? Mine is standard and I still have about 6" of space between the highest point on the soft top and the edge of the door opening. If you have a hard top, you should have even more space.
