    Hello Taco Wizard Pros, I recently installed a lift kit that came with 600lb. coil spring rate and was wondering if that is strong enough to add a winch and a stubby middle section bumper to the front without it sagging very much. The winch I'm looking at is like 67 lbs. and the stubby bumper is listed as about 80 lbs.
    Search function yielded nothing but maybe I didn't phrase it right.
    You guys are always very helpful and I sincerely appreciate it! Thanks!!

    You are adding about 150 lbs. This is shared by the front wheels, so only about 75 lbs each side.

    The 600 lb/in spring will only compress 75/600 = 0.125 inch to support the weight.

    I doubt if you will be able to notice the additional "sag".

    Thank You Knute! This eases my mind to know I won't have to upgrade my NEW springs!
