If you are adding a heavy bumper and winch, you will have to change to a higher spring rate, shocks should be fine.
This is the main reason I went with the lightest solution

Any sag from adding the winch up front?

6112s from jeepandtruckparts.com
You get a 2.6 shock that won't nose dive when breaking rides much better than the 2.0 hoss and can be raised a total of 2+ in front and rear. Six different height adjustments. I did the 6100s and got rid of my 2.0s and it was perfect for good lift and level. Keeping 35s for now. They also have Fox 2.5s if you want to pay the price. Shock Surplus reviews all options and 6100s on there website article.
Do you know if the 6112’s are adjustable like the eibachs while on the truck? If not how can we know the “finished” lift before installing?
Where are you located? I have Full set of SAS without the coils. Had 500 miles when I changed them.
New Hampshire.
We just did the Bilstein 6100s on the front with Sasquatch Coils after installing a winch. Ride quality is still good. Great, cost effective lift. Another option is 4WP coilovers that actually cost less and have more adjustability.

unfortunately, I didn’t take measurements before making the installations. However, the front is now 1 1/2 inches lower at the centerline of the fender flare versus the centerline of the rear fender flare. Again it was only an90 lb net difference so not a big issue and certainly nothing I’ve noticed on the road.

I had the same issue. I did not change my front bumper, just added a winch tray, superwinch 12k and jcr push bars. It made my front end lose about an inch and a half of height and definitely noticeable. Installing Kings 2.5 alone corrected the height.
