Might need some pucks for the springs cause the front may sag depending on front bumper/winch combo and associated weight, but no body lift

I lost an inch adding the LOD mid width and a Warn M8000 on my 12 Rubicon. Swaping the front springs for some JKU 18s raised it 1 1/4" and greatly firmed up the front end! Very happy with the outcome. I dont think just adding spacers would not have firmed it up. It "dove" badly with the extra weight up front.
