Default Teraflex Performance Leveling kit and a winch

Hello
I have a 2011 Rubicon Unlimited. I currently have an OR-Fab stubby steel bumper which now gives my a 1in front rake.
I am going to add a winch plate with a 70 lbs winch.
I am interested in the Teraflex Performance leveling kit.
My question is, should I add another 1/2 in spacer on top of the leveling kit???

I would do the 2 inch Teraflex coil system and you should be fine

Coil is stiffer and actually rated for a bumper and winch so all and all you'll get a 1.5 lift that's leveled out with a winch and front bumper
If you want more maybe consider a 2 inch Old Man Emu setup

I edited my last post so depends if you want 1.5 coil or lot people do the 2.5 budget boost so its about 2 inches when done. Depends though if your using a rubicon spring setup or not for the spacers kits verses the coil
Since you have a rubicon I'd consider the OME coil or maybe a 2.5 budget boost

I have the performance leveling kit with a winch and light steel bumper, plus a 3/4 inch spacer in the front. It sits level.

I ran a JKS ACOS system up front for awhile and might be a choice for you
