Default Teraflex JK 1.5in Performance Leveling Kit (Spring kit) w/Steel Bumper and Winch?????

Hello
I currently have a Or-Fab Steel bumper on my 4 door Rubi.
I am going to install the Or-Fab Winch plate and a 80lbs steel cable Winch.
I currently have a 1 inch rake now with just the steel bumper.
I am going to order the Teraflex 1.5 Performance Leveling Kit (The one with Springs, not spacers) equaling to 1in rear lift and two in front lift.
My question is, I wanna install it all at once to avoid the headache of tweaking it. So do you think I should add a 1/2in spacer ontop of the springs in the front to compensate for the winch or 1in spacer? I am not sure how much stiffer the springs are and will it keep level when I add the Winch and winch plate

That's a lot of weight, I'd go with the 0.5" spacer.

If you plan on doing some off road you should step up to the 2.5" lift and still install a 1/2 or 3/4" spacer up front. It cost more but it makes the JKUR sit right and still looks good even with stock tire size if you haven't changed them.

I'd say add a 1/2" spacer on top. TERAFLEX will recommend the same thing.
