Default trying to get my truck level.

anyone have any ideas or problems trying to make there truck level? I have a 4.5 lift with a 3/4 shackle and a 3/4 spring spacer, still down about 1 inch? I am going to buy a winch so it will add more weight. on the other hand I am nervous to add a 1 inch and 3/4 spring spacer due to my sye driveshaft and it may be 2 high in the front? any auggestions would be nice.

Add roughly the same weight to the front bumper that the winch will offer... "bounce" it a couple of times to get everything settled, then look/measure again.

I had a 60lb bag of blasting-sand that worked perfectly as a weight-simulator.
