I've got an 01 xj that currently has 4.5 RE Springs with a 2 inch Spacer. When I got it had stock bumpers no roll cage, no winch so now it sags quite a bit more in the front since adding the winch and bumper You can't really tell in this pic but on a level surface it's got about 1.5" difference. My question to you guys is this, I'm adding a cage this weekend and changing springs to get rid of the height difference. Do I got 5.5 with 2 inch Spacer or 7.5 with the factory 3/4 isolator. I'm on 35s with a clayton 3 link. Any help is appreciated....I guess the difference from 5.5 to 7.5 is 3/4" but just wanted to get your opinions

 

What is the reason for wanting to increase the lift so much I run 35's with a 4 1/2" lift a 3" coil and a ACOS Adj. Spacer. If you had a good quality coil on it you shouldn't have to run a spacer. That bumper and winch doesn't weigh all that much I would think, my winch is heavy about 100# but bumper is only 30-35# and looks like mine.


Are you running a stock rear bumper or a swing out tire carrier, or plan on one? If so the rear may sag as well.

 

Yeah I posted this question on a Facebook page and everyone talked me out of going with a type of spacer. I ended up ordering 4 1/2 Rubicon springs along with the acos. I was going to order the 5.5 springs and acos but I feel like the 4 1/2 will give me more room for adjustment..I had a noticeable amount of sag on the front end when I added the front winch and changed bumper. So I was just trying to level things out
