That is a bunch of weight to add to your front end. You realize that your stock coils are going to be squashed, right?

Consider new coils instead of spacers.

New coils would probably be a much better idea. Spend the money to do it right and be happy. Personally I didnt like the stock coils much with a full stock set up.

260lbs seems like a lot of weight for a bumper and winch. Which ones are you going with?
