Default Spacers w/ lift

I am adding a LoD mid-width front bumper along with a winch, I already have an XRC rear bumper with the tire carrier. I am wondering if you guys add spacers to regain lift from the weight and if so what brand and size do you use?

I currently have a TF 2.5 Coil.

Any input would be great..

Spacers will work. TF seems to have a variety of sizes to suit any particular need ...

Thanks for the link - I am wondering what size spacers are normally added after adding both a winch and front & rear bumpers..? (1"? , 1/2 "?)

I should have measured the height before adding the bumpers, but forgot . I have the 2.5 TF coil lift. I don't want to cause drive-line problems if I end up too high, but I also don't want to end up too low in month from sag...

Does anyone have a similar setup and if so, what size spacer did you add, if any?

I added a LoD Stubby with Smittybilt XRC8... My front end dropped a little more than 1/4 inch with the install. I have a 2.5" SkyJacker and put a 3/4" spacer on the front when I did the lift install since I knew I would be adding a bumper in the short future. Hope that helps.
