Leveling the front of a Willys Diesel

[mrmo]

I have a new ('22) Willys version, w the diesel. Im keeping suspension stock for now, but adding front bumper/winch. Want to add prob a 2" front leveling spacer to get rid of the dumb looking rake. Will i need to use shock extenders or any other changes to do this? Sway bar links? Thanks for guidance

I personally wouldn’t add anything unless your swaybar angle still looks out of spec after the springs settle. Since you’re adding another 150-200# to an already hefty front end, I wouldnt be surprised if the weight eats up 1” of the lift.
If you do add shock extensions, be sure to add a hockey puck or two to your spring perch so you don’t over compress your shocks.
For what it’s worth, I have a gasser Willys. I started with a 2” spacer front and rear. It was okayish until I added a winch and steel bumper. At that point, the rake bothered me so I swapped out the front 2” spacer for a 3.5” spring. That leveled it perfectly.
