Thanks for your help. I should be good on shocks though. Jeep only has 55k miles on it and the spacers and shocks haven't been on that long. Maybe half of that. I purchased the jeep at 53k miles

Before you mount all that stuff just see if you can find the rough amount of weight somewhere and sit it on the front bumper and see how much it sags

I've had my 65lb JCR bumper on for a month or so now and have had my winch for about the same length of time. And in that time I've noticed a little sag, or maybe I'm just paranoid about it. May mount it and run it that way then decide how much more I need for it to be levelm I think eventually I'm going to swap it out for a OME 2" lift but as for now I'd like to regear and take care of some other things

Be sure to research the coil numbers/rates. OME lists 2", but you could end up significantly higher depending on specific coil and actual jeep weight.
