Spring Opinion.
I installed a Rough Country 2.5 Series 2 spacer lift on my 2008 JKU a few months back along with 33" tires and 16" wheels.
Now I'm wanting to add a rock recovery bumper and winch along with replacing the spacers and shock extensions.
My question is. With adding the extra weight of the bumper and winch should i consider using 3 1/4 springs up front instead of the 2.5? I would like to avoid getting the factory rake look back. Im guessing that the bumper and winch together would be about 250lbs.

No brand-specific recommendation here, but I'd say you are on the right track by getting a spring that will support the weight you intend to carry rather than getting a spring that's too weak and then adding a band-aid. Call the manufacturers. They give great feedback about which of their products is best suited to your rig.
