I have a 2012 JKU MW3 Jeep. It comes with a heavy AEV front and rear bumper but I don't think puts any additional lifts from the factory. Here is the problem: I installed a winch on the already heavy front bumper. Now the front end is noticeable lower than the rear. How do I fix this? I am not looking for an expensive lift, just something to level it up a bit.
Thanks!

If you just want to gain back the height you lost and have that leveled look w/out getting a lift, you can always add a 1" spacer for the front.





The first pic might not actually be a 1" spacer. I just added it to give you a visual...

 

X2! I agree with Aldaman. They can be had for as little as $20 a pair used.

I just purchased a slightly used Teraflex Leveling Kit for $110 from a forum member.

 

Adding spacers to over compressed springs will give you height but not a quality ride, it'll feel very squishy. With as much weight as you've added, I'd install the TeraFlex Performance 1.5" Leveling Kit ($400) or TF 1.5/2.5" front coil springs ($230 plus longer sway bar links). It looks like these options would be the cheapest routes without compromising ride quality. This was recommended to me from TF when going through the same decision.

 

It is my understanding that by adding spacers should not affect ride quality. Adding taller or heavier duty colis would be nice. I guess it depends on OP's budget.
