I have the fabtech 3 inch budget lift that uses spacers for the 3 inch lift but no after market coils.................Im not sure what i should do? Ive added the bumper and winch which weighs the front down about an inch. Im assuming if i add newer and stiffer coils it will work? or if there is something better i should do let me know im a newb at this stuff thanks
If you're going to buy new springs, to eliminate the rake, just get rid of the 3" spacer and by front springs that will give you 3.5" of lift and compensate for the rake. BUT something to note, your 3" spacer will give exactly 3" of lift but typically a 3" coil will give 3.5"-4" of lift. For example, the TeraFlex 2.5" coil adds more like 3+" of lift and will support the extra weight (maybe you will need 2.5" HD coils to support extra weight).
So, just do some research and find the right coil and toss the spacer.
maybe this: http://northridge4x4.com/proddetail.php?prod=TF-1853202
I don't know for sure if these will work, but its probably close and I'm sure if you call David @ Northridge will help you.
PM me if you have more questions.

The front springs should fit in pllace just fine, but I believe the rear springs are a different size at both the top and bottom and wouldn't seat well at all. I also don't believe they're tapered like the JK rears are and would probably rub somewhere. I myself wouldn't suggest it, but - If you get it to work out with no problems then that's great.
