Why no 1" leveler spacer available? only 3/4, 1 3/4, etc?

Mine goes from 1" lower in the front with the soft top to about 3/4" lower with the hard top. Frankly I don't think you'd even notice the 1/4" difference. What I'm actually considering is a 1" spacer in the rear and a 1 3/4 up front. That should give me a bit of lift & level it out nicely without causing driveability issues on the highway.

I like the level look, but if it has to tilt one way or the other, a slight rake in front is much better than the 'worn out rear springs' look when too low in the rear. I tend to level with the HT on and let it rake a touch with a ST on. Sounds like 3/4 would do it, but HC's method makes a point.

I ran a full 1.75" spacer in the front and nothing in the rear to level out mine... '07 early build X. Sucks, I've got a 2.5" + 3/4" front and a 2" in the rear and it's still raked! Oh well.... next spring when I go to the 4", that should be gone.

I mean, its sits pretty nice now, just not exactly what I am looking for!

Default 1" spacer

I have the 1" spacers up front and my JK is pretty level now. Maybe still a slight front rake.

...but it's much better than stock and it'll be perfect with the hard top!
