hey guys, i'm about to swap the hideous lump of alloy on the front of my GU4 wagon to a factory steel winch bar and 12000lb winch. i know i probably should get properly rated springs but can i get away with spacers or is this just dumb? if i go with new springs, what rating or part number should i get? i currently run a 2" dobinson coil and bilstein shock ensemble. advice greatly appreciated.
