Bumper/winch spring sag
I could use some help in getting the front of my JK to level out after the add-ons. What I have is a 2-door X. Right now the front sits a little over 1/2 an inch low, almost 3/4". I added 200 lbs(myself) to the front and it came down another 1.0 inch. I am looking at the Mopar bumper and a winch, and near as I can figure, the weight will be about 225 lbs. Can anyone give me a part number for a OEM spring that will support the weight and bring me level? One of the 22 different spring rates for the JK has to work for this situation, I just need to find the right one. Thanks for any help...

look at spacers
OEM springs arent worth it, for what its worth, most after merket springs have a higher spring rate, and will work better with a front bumper and a winch
i would look at a 2 inch front spring, it will work great and put your jeep at level

Thought of that
I had thought of spacers, but the spring compression would be the same, just lifting the frame up from the compressed spring. Any idea of who sells an aftermarket spring that would support the added weight???
