You yell, you're going to get comments. Pure and simple. A one inch spacer in my front end helped compensate for the Power Plant and Shrockworks bumper, but it didn't take it all away. The spacer for me is just a stop gap until I put on a lift and when I do I will have heavy duty coils to compensate for the weight.

Check out the JKS lift. You can dial it in completely. It costs more, but if you are that concerned about the rake factor, this is the sure fire way to get it exactly the way you want. Plus you have the ability to adjust it again if you add something else that throws it off.

Have you measured to see how much rake you are starting with? That may be a good way to go, as it seems that a lot of the JKs are different. Mine is only raked forward by .25", and when I put 150# of weight on the front, it drops it another 1/2 inch, giving me .75" of rake once I get my bumper and winch on. I'll run a 1.75" spacer in the front and a 1" in the back and should be level.
That being said, being up a little more in the front will help with approach angles so it's not a bad thing.
Also... what tires do you have right now? I'm sure you already know this, but if you have the 29s on the stock X, going to 33" tires will lift you 2" right there. Another 2" in the front with spacers and you are now 4" higher up. Just something to keep in mind with the parking issue.
