So I was curious and hoping someone might know the answer to this but with my low-lift setup (the 1" raised springs and the 0-2" shocks) and the possibility of a winch on the front end, will something like the addition of a 0.75" spacer be beneficial? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GH1OB0/?tag=wranglerorg-20

I guess the stock bumper weighs 20lbs, winch plate weighs another 20lbs, brush guard is 25, and winch is 55. So 120lb total weight on the front end. Is that enough weight to drop my front end to the point I would want to level it back up? I know it may end up being a wait and see situation too.

Also wanted to know if I add this 0.75" spacer lift up front, does that force me to add or change any other components? Not sure if i'm wording that correctly...bump stops, sway bar links, longer shocks, etc...anything?

Chances are you may need to level out the front after added the winch and such. You'll probably lose .5", so the .75" spacers would level you out just about right. Shouldn't need to make any other changes, but I would check your bump stops up front to make sure you don't put the springs in coil bind when flexed out.

Drive it for a year and you will have a better "vision" when everything in your suspension settles down.
I was always in a hurry to buy stuff and regret it after. My garage now is full of used aftermarkets. Wife is not happy.
