Bumper and winch question
Hey guys ordered a pure jeep bumper and a smittybuilt winch today. I will be installing a teraflex 3 in this weekend with the bumper and winch. Do I need a spacer for the front springs to make up for the winch and bumper if so what size,

Depends. I'm not sure about the teraflex springs but when I installed my ome HD springs I had a negative rake. When I added the bumper and winch it leveled out perfectly. I guess you can expect a 3/4 to 1 inch drop with the added weight.

which bumper and smittybuilt winch did you get? i have the smittybuilt xrc-8 and the barebonez purejeep bumper and i didnt get any rake from it but with a purejeep stubby you might lose like 3/4 inch with the weight.

the Purejeep bumper isnt that heavy, teraflex is know to be tall, so it should'nt be a problem
