Basically in stock form, how much do you expect the EVO lift will add w/o the weight of bumper and winch? Wouldn't want to end up nose-high per se.

I didn't take actual measurements, but this is the EVO leveling kit. Stock front bumper, no winch, EVO armor(steel).

I don't think you would be nose up, but not sure.
I think a guy on here actually put a bigger spacer in the rear b/c he thought he was nose up.

Thanks for the comments, and pics. Appreciated. LasVegasJK your photo was good illustration
. Leaning toward EVO, just need to wrap up taxes today then do final research.
One last question, hard to find a clean answer sometimes: After doing these leveling lifts, was an alignment necessary? Did you do it (or not) and what'd you think of the outcome?
For an inch or so of lift, I wouldn't expect a material impact. But...well, that's why I ask<g>.

Alignment not needed. I just installed a leveling kit on my friend's JKU and nothing needed adjustment. Even the steering wheel remained centered....:beer:

The only thing I adjusted was the front swaybar links. I used JKS Quicker disconnects for 0-2" lift.
Didn't need an alignment, steering wheel remained centered.

Another EVO kit. Yep, same here. The sway bar was at 14-15* for me. My steering was off but was later diagnosed as a bad bushing in my factory front LCA.
