Front Spacer Question
OK, so I just got the JK about a month ago, and a lift is going to be a ways off. I have a RR bumper with full ends coming (thanks to some TJ parts sell offs) and I'm putting my Warn HSi9500 from the TJ on this bumper when it gets here. The question is what spacer should I use with this combo. I'm afraid with the bumper winch, I'm going to be dragging the bumper on every speed bump, plus I'd like to get some of the rake out of it. I'm worried that 3/4" isn't enough, but is 1 3/4 too much? Also, with a 1 3/4, would I need a track bar for the front? Thanks for your help, after 10 years and 3 TJs, this JK stuff is all new to me
It's a 4 door Rubi, Rock Hard ENgine Skid, but otherwise stock till the bumper arrives.

I think you should measure before and after you put the bumper, that would give you a very accurate measurement of what spacer to use. I didn't do that, and I had to guess. mine was 1-1/4, also you don't need a track bar for the front, as you are not really lifting your jeep, your only bringing it back to regular height. jks have exactly the same type of suspension as tjs. so use your experience.( and trust the force)

I don't forsee yo usagging any more than 3/4" with your setup, but I would measure before adn after, hen make the call. Go ahead and get the spacer though so you don't have to wait.
