Default Safari Gard Bumper and Winch: HD Springs or 1" Spacer

I will be installing my Safari Gard Bumper and Superwinch X9 this weekend. I already have +2 inch MD Terrafirma springs all around. I am sure the front end will sag with all of the weight. So I am trying to decide if I will need to swap to HD springs in front or just add a 1" spacer. What do you think?

Maybe try installing it first and see what it does? I have heard that the TF medium is pretty stiff.

you will need the HD springs. MD will not support the aded load and once you add the winch. well... you understand.

I have an ARB bumper and winch and my MD TF springs are not enough. I don't know exactly how much clearance I have lost but my tires rub now. I would go with HD or Bronco springs.
