Hi I'm planning to add a front bumper and winch to my 2012 sport. Whats the best way to correct the sag?...will a coil spacer be ok?
My front coils are 14's, Should I just buy some 19's?

 

Spacers or stiffer springs as you mentioned are adequate solutions... just your choice...

 

spacer lift, aka budget boost, will do the trick. If you wheel it on rocks, I'd recommend anyone non-rubicon get axle C's welded on for added front support. rubicons have stronger front axles.
get a 2.5" budget boost, you'll be happy with it. Teraflex makes a good one.

 

I had the 14 springs on my 2 door. I added aev front bumper, aev skid, 9.5k winch, and ace rock rails. I added the teraflex performance leveling kit, coils not spacers. I ended up at +1 ich front and back. Rides like stock, 4 door springs may yield similar results.

 

Rubicons do not have stronger axles or C's. They have a larger pumpkin that has a bigger ring which will reduce stripping teeth when paired with larger tires.

If you want to fix your rake there are a few options. Spacer, springs, leveling kit or lift kit (which will level the vehicle). I have been considering the options. If you are going to do it I say do it right the first time. I am looking at the 2.5 inch lift kits from the basic of Terraflex to AEV to Rock Krawler. Think about what is the most you want to do with your Jeep ever and plan accordingly to save yourself from wasting money and time on short term fixes. Just my 2 cents.

 

When you add more weight you need a stronger spring. A spacer does not help the original spring support any more weight, it just masks the problem.

Considering you must do the same amount of work to change a spring or add a spacer, a spacer makes little sense in this case.

Spacers are OK to add some height when the spring is already correct for the weight, but they are not a substitute for overloaded springs.

Think of it this way: You loose an inch by adding a bumper and winch, then you put in a spacer to get the inch back. You just lost a precious inch of suspension travel because the spring is permanently compressed more than it was meant to be.

 

Are you going to use steel cable or synthetic line?
I added a full width LoD and a 10,000lbs winch with synth line on my Sahara and had zero sagging.
So you may not even need to correct sagging.

 

I have the body armor triple hoop bumper, 4 fog lights, and a smittybuilt x2o 8k winch on my 2 door sahara.

I had the 13/14 spring package on mine then I switched to 16/17. It helped a little bit but it's still not at stock. I would say you can try swapping the springs out for stiffer ones. I'm not sure what you have 2 or 4 door I can't look back I'm on the mobile version but it might help for a little bit.

I was looking into the OME 2" medium/heavy duty suspension set. My rig is going to be built more for overland expedition style though.

I would definitely look at spring loads though vs just lifting it super high. Unless you want it super high with 37in tires etc then by all means buy a decent lift.

I'd avoid the spring spacers though since they don't seem to do a whole lot for performance.
