Winch and bumper with TF 2.5 BB
I am planning on putting a winch and bumper on the front of my new jk but i was wondering if it would make a difference in level between the front and the back with a Teraflex 2.5 BB spacer lift kit. If it does, how can i solve that issue ? Am i just better to go for a TF 2.5 standard spring lift ? Thank you

installing a heavy bumper and winch is like having a medium size person stand on the front of your jeep. needless to say, it will make your front end loose some height. this will be true of which ever kit you get. i personally would recommend that you take a measurement before installing everything and then taking one after. take another measurement to determine how much lift was lost up front and then, if you still feel it's needed, install a pair of coil spacers to make up the difference. you can stack spacers so you're still okay to do this even if you just go the BB route.
