2” mopar lift with winch. Front end lower

[303rider]

I installed the Mopar 2” lift kit on my JLUR.
Last week I installed the warn winch mount plate for the stock steel bumper, as well as the quadratec stealth winch.

I should have measured before installing but I would guess I just added 200lbs to the front.

The Jeep looks noticeably racked now. I have seen the JKS Jspec sell heavy duty coils if a winch is planned.

thoughts?

I would recommend adding 3/4 inch or 1 inch (I would do 1 inch) of TeraFlex pucks in the front. I have the steel bumper but I do not have a winch. I added 1/2 inch pucks to level mine out. If you add pucks up front, while you have the front apart, add the Rock Krawler spring perches and remove the junk Mopar ones. Even if you have the "corrected" Mopar front spring perches they WILL fail! Mine did.

I would recommend dual rate (MetalCloak) springs which do not sag when a winch is added. Not sure how well the JKS springs perform. Just make sure your order dual rate (MetalCloak) or triple rate (Rock Krawler) springs.

its actually raked from the Mopar lift without a winch and you can kinda notice it. 40lbs for the plate and 85 for the winch so you're at 125lbs total. Trail recon did a video adding 115lbs to his JLR and lost almost 1/2" here's an old vs new photo and you can kinda tell its raked pre winch and im sure slightly more post.

(top photo with smitty winch and winch plate, and rancho spring pads if that makes a difference and bottom is without)
