Default TF 2.5 springs with bumpers

Question for you guys with 2.5 TF springs and front bumpers/winches. How much wheel travel do you have before hitting the bumpstops? Reason I'm asking is that I have the springs on now, but the height/bumpstop room seems to be about the same as the 2.5 TF spacer with an extra 3/4 spacer. I have the RRC fron t bumper with full width ends, Warn HSi950 winch and RRC front skid plate. I'm guess I need to add a 3/4 in there since I only have and inch or inch and a half of wheel up travel right now. I expected it to be more than it is, but apparently my calculations were off

I have the same setup but like you said I added a 3/4" Skyjacker spacer up front to compensate for the weight of the RR bumper and 9K Superwinch. I think the stance looks perfect now and there is definitely more clearance for the bumpstop than there was with the TF BB spacers. Will post pics soon ...

Thanks...I mean the spring is defintely higher than the spacer combo was, so I guess I should have put the spacer in...oh well, I'm getting to be a pro at disassembling this thing now
