2.5" Lift - Will it sag?
So I plan on getting this Teraflex 2.5" lift http://www.teraflexplus.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=1_13&products_id=24
Now it says that this coil lift is designed to level the Jeep from the typical sagging of a winch and bumper. I plan on doing a hanson stubby front bumper and warn 9000lb winch.
Question:
With what I'm going to get (winch and bumper), will this lift be able to keep my Jeep level, or despite what the summary says, it will sag and I should buy 1/2" front spacers?
Thanks

It might lower a bit when you add the front weight, and tip back again if you add a rear bumper, etc.
If its meant to compensate for the front bumper/winch, then it should sit a bit high w/o the bumper winch, and then settle to level when they're added, etc.
I'd wait on the spacers, as if it DOES sag, it will likely be over time, and not right away...and you won't know how thick a spacer until then anyway....if ever.

As mentioned, I'd wait. That way you'll know whether or not you need to address anything at all and if so, by how much. If you jump the gun now, you might end up over-compensating and ultimately spend money that didn't need to be spent.
I was wondering if just the front coils would work for me. I have the TF 2.5" spacer kit now, but just ordered AZ Bulldog's front bumper and will be ordering a Warn Power Plant this week. that will be almost 200 lbs. of new weight on my front end.
It will sag about an 1", I guarantee it, your setup will be similar to what I have now, TF 2.5" BB and it sagged 1" with the Shrockworks front stubb and Warn 9.5XP, I bought the TF 1" leveler and it looks great now, cost me $50 bucks I think...don't remember and I just got it last week
i already have the skyjacker 3/4" spacers added to the front. and even now the front is still lower than the rear. so with 3/4" and 2.5" up front, doesn't equal 2.5" in the rear.... that's with no bumper and no winch. so maybe i should add the 1" spacer to the mix, haha... 3 pucks up front for a super ghetto lift
