True,

Adding a rear bumper will balance it out but, there will still be some height lost. I have the front/rear Mopars + Warn winch and lost about 1.5 in the front and 1" in the back.

My dilemma is deciding which lift-height to get so I can clear 33" tires and not have to do any driveline mods.

I don't plan on any extreme flexing, just enough to get me to and out of muddy trails.

I’m figuring if I get a 2.5 inch lift plus a ¾ coil spacer, I’ll only really be getting a 1 ¾” lift in the front and 1.5” in the back. Will that be enough to clear 33” Toyo’s or Cooper STT’s on Sahara 18” wheels?

ed, it will really depends on what lift you go with and the spring rate the springs have. It could boost you back up and you woundn't have as much loss. I have the 4" Skyjacker and have the Mopar winch bumper, no winch yet, but I didn't lose too much when the bumper went on and it's almost half the weight of bumper/winch combo. I'm just dropping the 3/4" spacers in, and I should be fine, even when the winch goes on.
