Let's talk about Undercover Hidden Winch Mount System for Gen 5

[JustinB]

Just dropping in... I have 5100s set at 1.75 w a 1" rear spacer. If i add a hidden winch should i set the front to 2.5" or will it be fine at 1.75?

I'm having exactly same debate. I want to have not more than 1" lift in the back since I have 265/70/17 AT tires, if it will be over 1" I feel it will look odd.
As for the front, I'm wondering how much "sag" will I get with a winch and mounting plate totaling at around 100lbs?
I'm assuming I would get "sag" with stock suspension since it's softer, and with 5100s it will be a different story.
Anyone had experience with this?

If it's any help/a reference to go by: My father's 5th gen: stock springs, 1" rear spacer, Bilsteins all around, fronts set to highest lift setting (2.5"), undercover hidden winch mount with the Smittybilt X2O 10,000lb winch with synthetic line. Sits level, maybe a tiny bit of rake. Looks good and handles a camping load-up well but isn't stiff up front and rides comfortably empty as well.

Thank you, I guess I'll go with 2" in the front to have a bit more of rake.

Judging by how spotlessly clean and rustless that ground plate is on that hi-lift, I think you only added insult to injury in your "usage" debate haha...did you have to cut that out of the factory vacuum-sealed bag first to take that picture..that thing still has the nubs on it haha #addCriscoandsliiiide :gun5:
