you can see oil leaking out or they won't rebound or dampen correctly. most likely, the springs are weak. changing springs or adding spacers will help alot.

The winch and mounting plate is like riding around with a 45lb 10" cement block strapped on the front rack at all times.

Providing there are some extra lbs up front. How do the hd spring feel on the trail. Is it still a soft ride or do they slam you around more?
