Default 3/4" Spacer question

I currently have a Teraflex 2.5 BB, I'm planning on adding 3/4 spacers in front since i'll be soon adding a winch and new bumper.

My question is should I get a spring compressor for ease of installation when I add them? It was awful tight just putting in the 2.5 spacers, i was afraid to let the axle down too much due to the brake lines. Or do I have more room than I think?

Any experience with this?

Thanks

Not really an answer to you question beause I simply don't know,but I would suggest adding the bumper and winch first. Then, measure and see what you have. It may save you the trouble of having to redo it if it's too much/not enough.

That's a good idea, and i probably will wait. But it's still not level right now and it it sags any more i'm not going to like it.

No spring compressor is required. i put 2.5 spring with a 3/4 spacer and had no trouble.
