Default Coil Spring spacer

My 1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 is completely stock, suspension wise. It has a little bit of a forward rake the weight of the engine makes the front sit lower than the rear, I would like to install a set of coil spacers to make it sit completely level. I have two questions:

1. How can I tell how tall a coil spacer I need?

2. And if I install a set of coil spacers then can i remove the isolator, or is this not advised?

Maybe the rear is sitting higher than the front? Put some weight in it. The isolator will keep the upper spring mount from getting chewed up and keep them quiet.

Measure from the center of the hub to the bottom the fender flare.

1 3/4in Poly spacer without the isolator should be pretty good with that, if anything it may sit a shade higher in the front, which, IMO looks better than the rear high.
