Winch and Front Springs

Has anyone who has fitted a winch to their 07 Defender yet needed to change the front springs or are they substantial enough? Fitting a Superwinch EP9 with Plasma rope next week. Andy

I have

We found that with the Warn 12000 HD Power Plant winch and winch bumper fitted she sat about 30mm lower. So I fitted some 1" lift heavy duty Old Man Emu springs.

Measure the height before and after and go from there.
