Default front end sag need springs help

I have an o8 ruby 4 door with a 10 winch and warn bumper my front end sags so bad When I drive even on a bumpy dirt road the front end bottoms hard, I need a n inexpensive way to fix this. Does anyone know of a way? I don't want to go with a puck type lift because this does not actually regain any of the lost travel, Can I put on springs only and what kind

OME heavy duty springs. Call David at Northridge. Man that is a lot of weight.

Teraflex 2.5 coils will fix it.

Unless you removed it, there should be a tag on the coils themselves that have a number and a letter. Disregard the letter, but the higher the number, the stiffer your coil.

As already stated, there is a tag (should be) attarched to the spring... I'm gonna guess your running 17/58's... If you can get 19's or 20's for the front (20 is rare) you will see a big difference in the sagging... I picked up my 18/59's for $50....

Measure the sag and grab a pair of coil spacers in the size you need. That's the cheapest fix. Dave can get you those too! Just let him know what size you need.

With that issue I would get aftermarket springs, TF or OME, with spacers you'll still bottom out like that.
