Interesting. A winch on the back?

Are you putting a bumper on the front as well? I'm curious as to why you would do the spacers before the bumper/winch. It may not sag all that much or may even out because the rear usually sits a bit higher with the lack of weight. I know most get about 4" out of that coil lift, so that means your at or around 5" of lift. I'd be more concerned with my driveshafts and would probably just take the spacers out right now IMO....

How about some pictures. That may help. I'd imagine that if you disconnect your ABS line from the brake line it will give it all the room it needs. I ziptied mine to the body of my shock up front and it gave me plent of slack for suspension movement. As for the brake lines, to me it doesn't hurt to put on longer ones if you have that much lift, as in more than 3". Better safe than sorry. Last thing you want to have happen is be at full flex and pop a line, or damage one and have it become and issue while driving on the road.
