Default OME HD Lift ---Add Leveling Spacers?

I will be installing an OME 2.5" lift with HD springs this weekend (Bought from NorthRidge!)

I have the RR XHD bumper with RRC Mount and Smitty 10k Winch on the front, still no rear bumper although I will have a 35" Tire/Wheel back there soon... Eventually a Rear bumper/Carrier will be added...

The question: Should I order a small spacer set for the front to make it level, if so what size spacer?

Thanks!

you are installing HD springs and i would just wait to see if you really need anything else first.

With the HD springs...you are likely to not see any difference at all. But you won't know until you install it. So like WayOfLife said...wait until you install.

I have the OME HD springs and when I installed them I had LoD front bumper, winch, steel winch cable, dual batteries(die hard marines), AEV hood. That was a lot of weigh in the front, but the only weight I had on the back was the 33" spare and it had a pretty good rake. When I installed the rear bumper and spare carrier it evened out. Now it sits perfectly even with zero rake.
