Default Front bumper & winch

I ordered a Superwinch EPi9.0S and a Mopar Offroad front bumper. Will I have to add spacers to maintain the stock front height??

Probably will get a lift later.

Yes, you will need spacers, probably 3/4" will do.

I agree... a 3/4" spacer should get you back up to where you started.

is that because of the weight of the bumper/winch?

I did the 1 3/4 inch spacers to get rid of the rack as well
