Put a synthetic line on the winch to save weight and it will be a lot safer then a steel cable. After some of the failures and injuries(deaths) from broken steel line or mounts, I will never use them again.

So this is what I'm looking at. LoD signature shorty front bumper weighting 75#s and a Smittybilt X2O waterproof 10k synthetic winch weighting 64#s. So I think I should be good and I'll measure before and after to see how much sag I get and adjust from there.

Did you happen to note how much sag you got from it? And did you order directly from LoD or go through someone?

You should get around 1/2" sag for every 230 pounds of added weight. Typically coil rates are 200-250 pounds per inch

Just get stiffer springs to compensate the added weight.
