Most likely, depends on amount of weight of bumper and winch. You can always add a coil spacer to compensate for weight. I have a TF 2.5 inch lift with TF 2 inch spacer in front and 1 inch in back, but you could always do just a 1 inch up front to make up for sag.

Most likely the front will sag. It also depends on which bumper you go with. Some of the bumpers are actually fairly light. What ever winch you go with make sure you have the synthetic line which will reduce the weight on the front end. Synthetic rope is also much safer to work with than cable.

Let us know if you would like a quote.

I have a AEV 3.5" lift and a Warn 12,000lb Dualforce Powerplant winch {HEAVY} and a Nemesis Odessy mid width bumper {light} and my lift didnt seem to sag at all it actually sits a little high in the front end. If there 2.5" lift has the same quality springs I dont think you will have any trouble.Click image for larger version
