Oh dude, you already have Bilsteins on it? That would be a shame to start over with that investment already made.

Are you having issues with tires rubbing on stuff? That's really the only reason I would suggest a lift in your situation. I have 31" Duratracs on my '94, on stock wheels, and they don't rub anywhere... I don't have the weight of a winch & bumper on mine though like you do. I would imagine that doing just a spacer lift would not require new shocks if you're just going up an inch or two.

Where'd you get the bumper?

Yes sir, Bilstien all the way around. Probably should just do spacers and call it a day. The 12k winch is over kill, no rubbing here. I am on RC springs, this is an affordable off-road bumper. Very well built and powder coating is ok, I bought it 20% off for Veterans Day sale, $800 shipped.
