Suspension lift 1 or 2 inch?

[cruise diesel]

I have an ARB winch bull bar coming in this weekend, I know that with the additional weight i am going to have to adjust my spring rate. However, I do not want to lift this vehicle very much. I use my 100 primarily for taking people up to a piece of property 2000 acres in size that I am developing and selling. So it needs to be somewhat easy to access. I have been talking with SLEE off road and it sounds like there are two options lift the front 1 or 2 inches and lift the back 1 inch. Does anyone have a recomendation for me? Are there advantages to leveling her out? You know what I am getting at, thanks in advance for your help.

Will there be a winch in your winch bumper?

Yes, I do plan to install a winch.

I'd not keep OEM T-bars if you add the weight of the winch. There's been reported breakings plus the front end is too soft. I'd get the OME T-bars regardless of how much you decide to lift, if any.

For your stated application I'd simply swap T-bars and keep the rest stock. IF you want to add only 1-inch, adjust new T-bars and add 20mm trim packs to rear spring top.

If you want to add two-inches....buy the rest of the OME setup from Slee. Shocks and 865 springs. Good luck and enjoy!

Buy the way....you will LUV the ride of the 2" setup. Still a cushmobile, however it offers a touch more stiffness and ride control.
