Mount the bumper and winch then purchase the size spacer you need to level it. The amount will vary from Jeep to Jeep, Lift to Lift, Brand to brand.....

170 pounds!?!?!

my 3/8" bumper plus a winch wouldnt even weigh that much...


but yes throw it on, let it settle and get the appropriate spacer

My custom bumper with the XRC8 winch weighs in at 140lbs! So I added the ACOS (1.25" ish) and it leveled it perfect.

A suggestion...

Use Synthetic Winch Rope instead of cable.
Lighter
Stronger
Safer

And why such a big winch?

coil rates for Cherokees are around 150 lbs to move it one in so do some math and take some measurement of your un-sprung coil and measure the sprung weight and you will get your answer

150 lbs = 1 inch
300 lbs = 2 inch and so on

you're talking the stock coil rate, right?

Unless you mud all the time. ( They don't hold up well to having dirt ground in to them, it cuts the fibers. )
My JCR winch bumper and Warn HS9500i with 100' of Synthetic rope only weighs 110-120 lbs.

well most lift companys send you 150 lb rate springs or pretty close to that

that and possible UV damage are the ONLY downfalls to synthetic...otherwise, its better than cable in everyway.
