Hey all,

Looking to keep the max tow spring in the rear so I got a 2 inch spacer lift for the rear.

What's the recommendation for the front? I have the 2 inch spacer for the front but I can already see it sagging under the winch and thin steel bumper weight.

I want to keep at least the stock rake so it's likely a small leveler + spacer in the front or 2/2.5 lift springs.

Anybody with this combo have a recommendation?

Why the spacer on the rear? If you want that in the rear, you'll have to double that for the front.

2inch spacer in the rear to keep the Max Tow springs back there.

But the front can be a spacer or a coil. The front is sagging from the winch so just the spacer may not be enough.

Is this your lift for bigger tires?

Yup! Most likely 34" AT, not sure which yet.

Just have to decide spring or pucks in the front. I'm leaning towards a 2.5 spring to offset the winch, but my worry is that a 2.5 lift springs will be designed to carry a winch.

From looking at synergy's site, their lift amount takes inter consideration a winch and steel bumper. So I plan to grab the 2 inch lift synergy springs. Just posting so others that may come across this get an answer.

Good! Photo below. Rides great. Rake looks good. Glad to keep the rear max tow springs.

It's settled a little more flat since the photo

What do you mean?
The back settle a little lower and the front a little higher. That photo was on a downhill.

I'm very happy with the setup. The front isn't bottoming out. Even with the bump stop extensions

Are those extensions the same that come with a 1.5" spacer lift?
