winch and bumper weight
looking at getting a winch bumper and winch for my ZJ. im wondering how much the front will droop with 170lbs of winch and bumper up there? right now im on a 1.75 inch spacer in the fronts and a .75 inch spacer in the back (front springs are sagged pretty good, probably gonna swap for full 2 inch coils all the way around eventually)

Old fart with a wrench
Have someone the same weight sit on the hood. I think replacing all 4 springs is a good idea. You may want to save the 3/4 spacers for the front to compensate for the added weight of the winch anyhow. Watch that extra weight on turns.
