Have a 2.5" AS leveling kit on my 2010 Screw with a hidden winch behind factory bumper. My front end still sits lower than back because of the extra weight. My question is I know a 3" level is not a good idea due to angles of the front end parts etc. Does anyone have any experience with a heavy bumper or winch up front with a leveling kit? I'm wondering if a 3" would be ok if it is going to settle to a 2 1/2 because of the extra weight?

This thread is relevant to my interests; I would like to see a level with a front end replacement on 33", 34" or 35" tires.

how much does the winch weigh!

The only way to properly account for the additional weight is to swap to a spring with a higher rating. Stock spring are rated around 480lbs or so. Fox and [MENTION=156426]F150Lifts.com[/MENTION]use Eibach springs rated in the 650 and 700lbs range respectively. There's a user in the BOSS thread that stated his plow would sag the truck up to and over a full inch but with the new BOSS coilovers he only sagged about 3/8".

I wouldn't think that weight would be noticeable, but as mentioned, better spring
