Front Spacer only issues
Considering installing 1 3/4" front coil spacers only on my 2 door Rubicon. This looks like it would level the stance out. Is there any issues or problems I should be aware of if I go this route?

1.75" in front might be a little too much... I have a 2dr Rubi with 1.75" front and 1" rear and it sits pretty much level...
I did not add bumpstop spacers or longer shocks - no problems.

granted mine is an X but I just installed 1 3/4" spacers up front yesterday and was planning on just staying with that but it ended up being a little too high in the front and so i added the rear 1 3/4" spacer and I still have the rake. I might swap out the rear for a 1" like 08rubijk said. that should level her out. The front took like 45min to an hour, not hard what so ever.

Correct. I chose the 1" rather than the 3/4" spacer because I plan on installing an aftermarket front stubby bumper. Probably will be going with the shrockworks stubby unless something better comes along...

3/4" Spacer
I just did the 3/4" up front and left the factory isolator in and it is perfect. I have the stock bumper with a winch plate (no winch yet). With the weight of a winch on the front it will be perfectly level. Here are some shots and a link to the write up:
