Added the the OEM steel bumper and will be installing the winch that Santa is bringing. Also will putting on the OEM steel rear bumper. Once done I will want to level it it out. It is my daily driver and I don't need a lot of lift for the type of off-roading I do and I will never go bigger that 35 inch tires

Based on that what are some thoughts on the type of lift/level? Spacers lift? New coils? Would love to hear some people thoughts

I would put all of your parts on and determine how much "lift" you need to clear the tires you intend to run. If it is 1.5" or less, I'd buy a spacer lift that matches the amount of lift you need.

If you need greater than 1.5" of lift to clear the tires you intend to run, then I'd consider a spring-based lift.

If you only want to get it back to stock height, after the additional weight is added, you won't need any geometry correcting parts (control arms).

Good advice here. Get your extras on and see where your at. Sounds like you may use/need up-travel more than droop. This is probably what you will need to regain or even add to. Take lots of measurements now. I like at least three locations.

If you like your current stance, don’t forget to take the measurements prior to adding anything to know exactly what thickness of spacers you need front and back to bring that stance back.
