Default Custom winch bumper, what front springs?

My custom front winch bumper is almost done. I don't have an exact weight yet, but it is beefy! I am currently running the Teraflex leveling kit with Rubicon Springs and shocks given to me by a friend. Until I can afford my lift, what does everyone recommend for for some stiffer front springs if my JK decides to do a nose dive after the install?

take a measurement of your jeep from the front bumper down to the ground. install your bumper and then take another measurment. that'll give you an accurate reading of how much higher you need to go. from experience, that's typically only 1/2"-3/4" tops. if that's the case, i might recommend installing a taller set of coil spacers up front or even stacking on a smaller set. stiffer coils will give you a stiffer ride.
