Coil Spacers
I'm installing an LOD Mid-Width Bumper and Warn M8000 winch on my 2011 Rubi. I was told that the front end will tremendously sag due to the wight. I was already planning on installing 3/4" coil spacers to compensate for the original sagging that comes with the Jeep, but now with the new bumper and winch, do I need bigger coil spacers? Or will the 3/4" coil spacers be sufficient?

Knowing your weight and how much the front sags will let you determine the proper spacer for the amount of weight you plan to add. I weigh 225 lbs., and my rear bumper sagged 1 1/2". Now I know I need to add 1" of spacer for each 150 lbs. I add to the rear of my Jeep. It's that simple!

If you can afford it I suggest adjustable coli spacers. They allow for ongoing adjustability as you add and modify accessories.
The adjustable spacers come in two models. Dave at Northridge can help!
