yea I know but just in case my wife happens see what I'm doing on the bord I need to "say the right thing" if you know what I mean....LOL....

now back to the matter at hand.

stock bumper = just put in a spacer if you realy want to level it out but remember what WOL posted in the beg of the thread about once your loaded up you MAY end up with a "reverse rake" setup.

and a good thing has been brought up in this thread that I'm totaly glad came up. the issue about getting a "stiffer" spring to help spring sag from the added weigt of a aftermarket bumper and winch. FWIW guys IMO the "stiffer" spring is the way to go instead of just adding a spacer to the already "smashed" coil to help raise the front end back up. I will totaly be giving someone a call when I get my AEV bumper and winch mounted for the "stiffer" springs .

That would be cool if FT offers that as an option, to get the stiffer and longer front springs when ordering the lift kit
But it just makes my choice ever harder to make lol

So the answer is, 3/4" spacer or stiffer springs. Gentlemen, I thank you!
