Leveling front coil springs or spacers?
I know this gets asked a lot, but can't find anything that recommends one over the other. I am installing a new full width bumper and winch and really don't want the front to sag. I am looking at 1" lift coil springs or coil spacers and don't mind paying for the springs if there is an advantage. Also, if I install either will I need to extend the bump stops; which I haven't found for 1" spacers or springs.
Thanks
Thanks

If you're not looking for any lift and just a return to stock stance I'd go for 2" worth of pucks up front. Full width bumpers with winches can weigh 200lbs, 1" of pucks won't cut it.

I went ahead and measured the stock height and will re-measure once I get the bumper and winch installed; the difference should coincide with the size spacer I need, correct?
Also, if I go 2" I get into bump stops, shock ext. ect.....right? If that's the case I will probably just go with a budget boost or leveling kit. My two little ones can barely get it in now, so not looking to add bigger tires for a while.
Thanks
