    Does anyone make a 1.5" coil spacer? My struts are sagging with my bumper and winch throwing off my alignment. I want to raise it back up to pre bumper/winch add on.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Do you have stock struts still?

    You get about double the lift to the thickness of the spacer. You can see my lift link in my signature and I have 1 3/8 to get 2.5" suspension lift. You probably already know this but ideally you want to upgrade the spring to handle that weight.

    Yea all pro said my Bilstein 6112 coilovers came with 650lb springs, but they settled pretty fast and with 245s I'm rubbing bad even with trimmed fender flares. I think I lost about 1.5" of lift with my arb bumper and warn winch. I want to lift it to where I was before the bumper install.

    An ARB bumper plus a winch is about the heaviest front end setup you can get, 650lb coils are not going to cut it. I have 650lb TRD coils on my 6112s (TRD Baja) and nothing on the front end. You are going to want to upgrade to the 6112 700lb coils.

    Quick google search, it looks like wheelers carries them, note the spring options listed for the 6112: You will probably have to contact them to buy the springs separately.

    I'm sure other vendors do as well. They likely wont give you the full 1.5" back as that is a very heavy setup (unless you maybe have the 600lbs springs by mistake), but it will move you back in the right direction and help control the weight on the front end better.
