Default Front suspension sag-Help

I recently put a new bumper and winch on my TJ, with all the added weight my front end now sags down a considerable amount (1-2 inches) and if I hit a big enough speed bump my front end bottoms out with the bump stops. I have a 2" body lift and 2" spacers. I've considered getting bigger coils with an extra inch or two to compensate.

Any suggestions?

Get rid of the spacers and get a coil lift. Stock coils suck and aren't rated for that extra weight. I'd suggest ome or bds

One last thing, what size coil lift would be right to level it out? Maybe a 3"?

Could try a OME HD coil.

On the JK Sport/X, a Rubicon front spring compensates for the sag perfectly when a bumper and winch is added to the front.
