Default Need suggestions on lift upgrade.

I currenly have Rough country 2.5 coils front and rear with a 1.75 inch spacer up front and a one inch spacer in the rear plus a coil correction wedge that gives almost 1/2 inch additional in rear. I have rear upper adjustable control arms and tom woods DS in rear. JKS front and rear adj trackbars. I have heavy front bumper and winch, rear is stock plastic but I will have heavy rear bumper and tire carrier soon.

My coils have sagged one inch front and rear. This is sag after compensating for winch so front has sagged even more actually since stock. This means that my rc coils are only giving me 1 to 1.5 inchs up front from stock and .75 inch in the rear.

I am debating on several different options:

Option one:

Replace coils with either teraflex 2.5 coils or OME heavy duty coils AND leave current spacers on and get appropriate length shocks for the combo ride height.

Option two:

Get either teraflex 3 inch or 4 inch lift kit or Rockrawler 3.5 or clayton 3.5.

I want to be right around 4 inches up front and 3 in the rear total.

What does everyone think?

yea, it was about the same time. So If I put on teraflex 2.5 inch coils that should give me about 3 inches of lift from coils up front minus about .75 inch for winch and bumper plus the 1.75 inch spacer would give me 4 inches up front and in the rear I would get about 2 inches of lift from coil and with spacer I would have about 3 inches in rear. Does the math sound right to you? Then I would get teraflex shocks made for their 3 inch lift kit. OME would probably give approx the same lift with HD coils I would think.
