Eliminate sag from winch and bumper

[Gizmo]

I started with a MOPAR 2" lift w/.5 front spring spacer. It looked ok maybe a little more rake than I preferred but could live with it . I eventually added a steel rubicon bumper and Warn 10000 lb winch. Rode great but looked like hell. I swapped the .5 spacer for a 1" . Looked great but hated the exagerated rebound on bumps in the road . swapped the 1" for a 3/4" which is where I am right now and it still has more rake than I like and the rebound is still not to my liking . I was thinking about ordering a pair of MOPAR 2" lift springs for the 3.0. I was curious as to what your thoughts are. If I ended up an inch or so more lift than the 3.6 springs gave me I would be happy . I seen that option recommended to different members for different reasons but have not seen any response from any one who has done this swap on a 3.6 engined JT. I have never cared to the ride when adding spacers when springs are actually needed . I can live with what I have but feel I can improve it as usual

I put on a steel bumper and a 8k Ramsey winch…i then put on a 1 1/2” leveling kit spacer up front…left me with a little rake for towing.

sounds like a dampening issue as well. How them shocks holding up? I'd recommend Synergy, their 2in lift coil is designed with a full steel bumper/ winch in mind. May be time for some Bilstein or IM4x4 shocks too

I Like the Eibach shocks which only have about 2000 miles on them. I have had my share of 5100's on previous jeeps & Rams which is why I went with eibach because from previous experience they are a little softer in most situations compared to 5100's . The ride was fine with the .5 spacer and 2" MOPAR springs . My 17 1500 Ram acted the same way with the 5100 Bills on it with OE springs but when I went to Eibach springs you went back to the stock setting on the spring seat to get the same amount of lift and the exaggerated rebound went away . Maybe I should just go with the Eibach 3" springs and call it a day . I just want to be rid of spacers as I have never cared for them when you increase the weight on a jeep

debating whether Synergy 2 or 3 inch to get me a little higher than my present MOPAR 2" is with a 3/4" spacer.

Replaced front 2" MOPAR spring w/3/4" spacer with Synergy 3" springs . Came out the same height but is much smoother ride , handles rough roads with less of an effect on ride. Rides like it did before adding the 3/4" spacer to the MOPAR springs . No more exaggerated rebound. 100% worth it to be rid of spacers
