I may do a bumper soon, but it'll be a while for a winch. I just don't wheel enough now to justify it. If it does drop it down to match I'm thinking I should have gone with a bigger lift in the first place. Unless I put the flat fenders on...

You can use a ratchet strap and hook it to the axle and then to the frame and pull the axle into place to line the hole up.

No, not really, just have someone rock the Jeep or push it from the side if you need. I've found that the suspension usually settles in and you won't have to realign because of it. The only pain would be pulling the original spacers from their hole and putting the new ones in... But again, it's not really that big of a pain. Also, I put the original OEM spacers (or whatever they're called) on top of the Tera's to make sure I had a full 1".

Rock Hard front bumpers have some weight to em (1/4in thick steel). Mine set perfectly level w/o the winch with my RK 2.5 lift. The RH stubby with factory fog cut outs weighs in at 80lbs. Looks fine w/o a winch but the holes are there if you decide you want one. Has light tabs already welded to the grill guard also.
