I have the LOD stubby with smitty #8000 winch and steel cable. I added 1" spacers on my TF 2.5" coil lift. It was too much. It might have been ok for full width. I fixed it with a 1" spacer in the rear so now I have a 3.5" lift. I would only use 1/2" space for a stubby or mid-width especially if you use synthetic cable.

''Yeah, I'm thinking LOD Armor Lite Mid (Bull Bar & Skid Plate) with Warn M8000S. Probably about 110# minus about 25 for stock puts me at about additional 85#
up front. Might just put 1/2 to 3/4 spacer to level it out.
