I need new suspension. I don't do anything wild--I go out to Big Bend a couple of times a year, drive around on my family ranch, and mostly drive around the city. So, stock height seems perfect for me. I am curious about getting a winch. I think an ARB bumper is in my future. Deer are everywhere when I leave the city, and I like the security.

Is the Dobinson stock height kit sufficient to support an ARB bumper on the front and a winch and an ARB bumper on the back with a tire carrier. If not, what springs would I need? Maybe I just add a winch to my oem bumper, but I dunno what I want yet. Maybe I do the stock height kit and then I get new springs in the future if I get a bumper?

 
My advice would be to invest in the winch and bumper first, then get a good weight of the vehicle front and back before reaching out to one of the Dobinsons vendors. They will be able to dial you in using real data.

I have so much sag right now on OEM suspension that I think I may have some aggressive rubbing with the bumpers installed without new suspension.

What are your measurements center of hub to bottom of the fender flares? You can measure your current sag since stock height is roughly 20.5" - 21" Knowing your sprung weight will let you dial in the ultimate height with new springs.
