just curious about how much sag people are getting from aftermarket bumpers with winches? and what they did or are doing to remedy it. i have a rr xhd stinger bumper on back order and will be putting a superwinch 9 synthetic on it and im already pushing it with tires, thanks

 

Full inch of sag with my Warn XD9000 with steel cable and Mopar bumper.

I have stock springs + a 3.25" of BB spacer lift. Of course the spacers do not sag, so mine is a pretty good indicator of the sag you'll get with stock springs.

I plan to drop the BB spacer and stock springs and replace them with a 3" HD spring from Northridge at some point. I'm not actually rubbing, but I like the leveled out look much better.

Check my profile for specifics.

Factory stock your jeep should be about 3/4" lower in the front. When I added just the ARB bumper it dropped another 3/4". I did the TF lift between adding the bumper and the winch so I am not sure how much more it would drop after the winch. I would expect at least another 1/2". You can get a 1" spacer from Teraflex which would bring you back to stock, or close to or you can get a 1 3/4" spacer from daystar which would bring the front close to level with the back which is where it should be anyway.

 

with the 13/4 from daystar do u just put it on and call it a day? or do u need to do anything else?

 

I just installed th RR xhd bumper and the epi9.0 and lost about 5/8", but I have the OME hd springs on my unlimited.

 

No other mods are necessary because you are only bringing it back to stock height. It is a really easy mod too, you should have it done in less than an hour and they only cost like $40.

 

I had a 2.5" budget boost spacer lift on my 4 door and put a homeade bumper and 12000LB winch and it sagged like crazy. I ordered ome heavy rate springs on it to bring it back up. They came from northridge 4x4.

 

does anyone know the sag with a 3.5" RE short arm lift kit?

 

I am doing a treks bumper and a superwinch lp8500 next week I will let you know
