Default Ride height Q

Hey fellas,

So I added a new bump and winch on my 2dr jk a couple weeks ago, I am looking to finish the deal by leveling off the ride height from the added weight with some coil spacers in the front, is there an ideal way of measuring the right spacer size? It seems like everyone just perscribes 3/4" post-bumper and winch.

Thanks Guys!

Some will need more than others to level their rig. Why don't you just measure the front and back of your jeep, see what you need, and call David at Northridge?

What he said. Makes a lot more sense to measure than to guess at it, get it wrong, then pull it apart a third time to re-level again...

I guess I should have worded it more specifically.... I am just not sure of a proper place to measure from and compare to from the front and the back... just the bottom of the frame near the axles? the top of the tire to the body?
