Default Help! Spacer Sizing

I have a 97 cherokee with severly worn rear leafs. It is my daily driver and I do some atv towing with it. From what little research ive done ive decided to replace them with oe hd springs. Now ive heard that the hd springs give signifigant lift to the rear. What size coil spacers do i need to level out the front out

They usually provide about an inch of lift from what I have heard. So a 3/4" spacer would probably leave you pretty level I'd say. These spacers from 4WD Hardware are a pretty inexpensive option:
