Going to hopefully get my T-Bars and AAL's put on in the near future. Looking at about 1.5" of lift. My question is the fact that I recently purchased a winch. The beast weighs in at 77lbs. Will the T-Bars and AAL's alone make the truck sit correctly until I can save the money for the UCA's. THanks alot.

UCA's aren't part of the equation, t-bars do the work.

Your stock t-bar can work, you don't need a new one, if you're trying to save up for a 3" lift (A-Arms, etc...)

The winch may drop the front a smidgen, but the t-bar limiting lift factor is where you hit on the way up...you can only adjust up so far before you lose all uptravel...so around 1.5" is about it.

Adding the extra weight upfront just means a little more tension on the bar at the same ride height.

A better bar might ride better.

Stiffer Tbars and stiffer shocks come highly recommended with the weight of a winch out there.

I've driven a Fronty with a winch and the front end was downright squishy in the rocks, causing mucho Xmember to rock contact.
