Suspension setup for arb/winch

Just installed an arb front bumper and the truck is a lot lower than I expected it to be and I haven’t installed a winch yet. Currently on stock struts with a leveling puck. From what I’ve read I will likely go with a 5100/ome 883 setup for the front. Or does anyone have any alternative budget friendly suggestions? This is pretty much my beater so I’m pretty much looking to go the cheaper route.

Im running 33s so i would still want to keep about 3” of lift. Does anyone have a similar setup? if so what notch is everyone running on the shocks to achieve around 3” of lift with a bumper/winch? Or can i run it on the lower notch and add a small spacer on top to get it where i want it? Any imput would be appreciated.

Can i retain the top plate on my factory struts to use on the new bilsteins as they dont come with them?

Also who has the best prices on what I’m needing? I was looking at wheelers as they have a sale going.

 

Getting some bilsteins with stiffer springs would be the best option. Yes you can reuse the top plate.
