Default Rugged ridge XHD Bumper Question

Hi, I just ordered the rugged ridge modular xhd bumper with a winch and a winch hoop. Should I add a spacer up front to keep the jeep level. If so what size spacer should I add? I was thinking a 1" teraflex spacer. Also, the way I have my rustys lift set up is I have 3.25" lift springs in the front and 2" lift springs in the rear so it rides perfectly level/even right now. would adding a spacer up front make it too much of a difference up front and lead to handling issues even if the ride height is the same with all the weight? Thanks for the help

I would put the bumper and winch on first and see how it looks. Most lifts allow for a bumper and winch. I have no rake with a 3.5" RK lift.

ok, i'll give that a shot, it will be easier to order the spacers afterward than it will be to order and then return them if I don't need them. Thanks

If its not too late I have that exact bumper combo that is literally brand new available for sale....I'd go 250 plus shipping. It's been on the Jeep a total of about 40 miles of driving.

I was overcome with the sexiness of a Poison Spyder bumper which is why I am selling this one.

Hi, do you have any idea how much shipping would be for that? I ordered already but it hasn't shipped yet so I could cancel it. *Edit* I just did an estimate from UPS, I don't know where you are in South Carolina so I used Columbia to Somers, CT for what I guessed was an 80lb package and it said about $60 for shipping. Do you have pictures of the bumper?

Sent you a pm with pic link.

I live near Columbia so I am sure that would be in the ballpark.

Also to answer your question...I dropped about .25 of an inche when I added the XD9000i winch to the bumper.

I have an 07 Rubicon.

I tried to open the link and the link didn't work, maybe if you posted it right on this thread you'd have better luck

I tried to ship a factory bumper to NH last week and it was going to be $130 and it was a 12 lb rear bumper. Maybe the size killed it, but shipping is insane now.
