Default Is 3/4" enough?

I have a Teraflex 2.5" budget boost. I am about to install an LoD Mid Width front bumper and a Superwinch 9.0EPi. I believe the bumper is about 72 pounds and the winch about 120 pounds.

I have a pair of Skyjacker 3/4" spacer to install to level out the vehicle and compensate for the additional weight. I am now wondering if 3/4" is enough to level it out with the new equipment on it.

What do you think?

Hard to say for sure although it should be pretty close. Get a person or two to equal about 200 lbs. and measure how much the front drops.

My Epi with the steel cable lowered it down about 1/8", not noticeable. Went to synthetic now, doubt it even moved. Plus your bumper, 3/4" spacer is definitely enough.

That is what I am thinking but just want to confirm with everyone. I will be using the steel line for the time being.
