    Hey guys so I bought a 5500 IB winch and a hidden winch mount from amp’d up for my truck but I don’t know the specific lift to get to even it out because I’m not sure how much extra weight its gonna put on the front. I want lift it 2 inches so my question is how much should I lift it on the front so that it evens out with the weight of the winch? I attached a photo of what it will look like with he hidden winch mount. And if anyone could recommend a good tires size for a 2 inch lift. Thanks

    Very nice install, I did the same with my 99 Limited, 9k Badlands winch, If it lowered it all it wasn't much
