An aftermarket bumper WITH a winch will drop the front of your Jeep. Be sure to have the right suspension...

Because an aftermarket bumper with a winch IS VERY HEAVY, therefore the front will drop (1/2" to 1")

Some jeepers install 1" coil spacers in the front

Depends what kind of coil spring you have

I looked at your profile, and you have 2.5 inch Teraflex BB. Do you have the stock shocks (with coil spacers) or the TF shocks?

The TF shocks are strong enough for a heavy bumpers with winch.

If you have the 2.5" coil spacers with the stock shock's there is nothing you can do.

Install the winch, and see after how do you like the look of the Jeep. After, you can take a decision
