Lift and a TJM bumper?

Newbie here guys a couple of questions. I just bought a TJM t-17 (thanks Jason B) and I am wanting to lift the Taco, truck in sig. I was wanting to use Cornfed 3in spacers but was wondering if the weight of the bumper plus a winch would have any adverse effects on the spacers or other things. Also how much will the combo sag the front end? Should I add a stiffer spring? Can I use a stiffer spring and the cornfed together? What do you guys think?

The bumper/winch will cause the springs to sag. How much is hard to say, depends on the condition of the springs. I wouldn't think it would be noticable to the eye, but...

From what I've read, you do not want to add a front bumper and winch to a spacer lift on a Tacoma. The springs will sag noticeably and the ride will be horrible. Below is a link to search on ttora. There's many differing opinions on what setup works best, but the concensus is spacer lifts are not good.
