Heavy duty front springs should help. Not sure of the manufacturer, but I'm sure someone else will chime in. Maybe try a search? Good luck.

skyjacker has 2.5" front coils. or you could go with a 3/4" spacer on top of ur lift. i also say some 3" coils for sale on the forum.

yup had the same problem after my mopar bumper and winch
gonna need to do a spring swap or stack a pair of 3/4" leveling spacers in the front with the boost.
I did a pair of 3" springs from a company I don't think I'm allowed to post the name of on here and it sits great.
If you check with the lift company, most of them use springs rated to give the stated amount of lift with a bumper/winch combo in place.
doing a BB, we just had the stock springs- which sagged under the added weight.
if you do another spacer - its the cheaper route BUT you're losing another 3/4" of suspension travel = bottom out on the bump stops more often.

Talking

Depending upon the amount of sag (Which will get worse with time...), you might want to consider the following:

1) You HAVE coil spacers already...2" though, if getting a half inch back, going to a 2.5" Coils pacer might do it...for a while.

2) Your oem coils are going to get saggier with time....you need stronger coils......tipping point for you here...Do you want to just do a 3" SL with heavy duty coils?

I ask, because as long as you HAVE to buy coils anyway....and the point of the BB was to AVOID the cost of new coils....and you have a 4 dr...so 3" won't require anything significant really the BB didn't...maybe just get the coils you want, and do the 3" SL.



I'd think about further mods, like skids, a rear bumper, etc...and THEIR weight too...and then plan around the final build weight.

It might turn out that a regular 3" SL will settle to a lift height similar to what you had in mind...and compensate for the eventual weight of your rig. You can also get ACOS type spacers (JKS) that let you dial in the spacer heights to fine tune what you need....and I beleieve they have coil over versions to add some extra suspension support too.

Food for thought, depending upon whether it was total height, or budget, you are prioritizing around, etc.

I installed 3" Full Traction coils on the front of mine, in place of the TF spacers. Brought the front up about an inch. I am running an LOD bumper, and a light weight T-max competition winch with synthetic line.
