Default JKS adjustable coil spacers

Do these act like a small lift? If I install them can I recover my lost travel due to my heavy bumper and winch?

Yep, they are just adjustable spacers, and you can raise/lower the ride height whenever you choose. But, if your coils are squashed far enough from the added weight, you would be better off with new coils than tall spacers.

Default They are awesome

They do work as a 1-2.75" lift. I really needed something adjustable because my garage is very low and I wanted to go as tall as I can without hitting. They are kind of expensive, but worth the expense to have the flexibility IMO.

Also from what I hear they are a quality product.

I was about to pull the trigger on these and then I read.....that with the added weight of the bumper and winch on the stock springs it "can" make the ride feel a bit, I think the term was "squishy". That is understandable, and that is why I've held off because if that indeed happens the spacers aren't going to do anything about that. So you may want to think about this as well. I would like to ask tho, to the guys that do have the extra weight on the stock front springs, did it effect the ride much? Did it make the front end seem to roll from side to side a little more? Thanks...
