Leveling kit thoughts

[NonHyphenated American]

I have a Sport S with Max Tow. As of current with steel bumper and winch as measured in the center of the fender flare bottom lip, the front sits at 34.5" and the rear at 37. Prior to the bumper and winch the front was 35. I ordered brand new 340 and 343 front springs. From what I have read throughout the forum the springs will give me an inch. Combined with the 1.5" leveling kit this should be me dead level with the rear. The chances of me actually coming close to hauling anything heavy and towing heavy is pretty remote. I just dont want to end up with alittle Carolina squat and do the same work twice. I guess if Im a tad high in the front the springs will settle? If I just use the 1" spacer ill have .5" of rake. If I do sit high up front and put a .75" on the rear ill end up back with .5" rake. Who has done this combo?

I put 340 and 343 front springs on my Max Tow as well plus AEV 2" spacer kit. I'm about .5" of rake which in person you can't even tell - it looks level. I would start with the 1" and go from there. I'd rather have a fraction of rake versus nose up slightly.

Here's mine for example:

I have 340 and 343 springs with a 1.5” front and .75” rear spacer.

Don't have that combo, but I leveled out my Sport S and also carry weight in the bed regularly. Added Air Lift helper bags to the rear (very easy DIY, $100) and that allows me to stay level regardless of payload. It also reduced body roll. Best $100 I've ever spent on a Jeep. The kit number is 60830 for the stock gladiator sport springs
