Default Stacking Spacers

I just traded for 2012 Arctic and I am planning on going with the Teraflex 2.5" BB kit to fix 33"s someday my question is, I kept my Rockhard front bumper and winch, can I stack a 1" TF spacer on top of the 2.5" spacer that comes with the Kit, because that bumper and winch is heavy and I want it to sit level and will I need the Exhaust spacers with the 6 speed? thanks for the help..

O GOD NO! Don't do that! Ul be opening up a can of worms, just get the larger coils.... Evo sells plush ride coils for 189 per pair (not bad) and u can choose the size u need.... Please get a new set of coils ANY brand I just said evo cuz I just saw them on their site, but please don't stack spacers.... And not only that, I think that it's just plain not safe.

If you're going to add a winch and a front bumper then skip the leveling kits all together and buy a real 2.5 coil kit and add that 1 spacer you already have to the front of the Jeep.

But you don't want these 1" higher than stock coils when adding a winch and a bumper. And you especially don't want to use the stock coils

I'm running a 4" Skyjacker lift with XHD Bumpers tire carrier and warn winch... I'm only putting 3/4" Daystar coil spacers to make up for weight loss (only 30 bucks on Amazon for the set of 4)

And I wouldn't put ANY more that a 1" spacer on top of existing coil lift

Yeah you guys will like them. I'm running the 3" plush coils in place of my old rough riding Rough Country coils. Evo coils are awesome, especially over rough stuff
