Not much progress on the to-do-list the last week or two. But I started looking at what to do about the front leaf springs. With the weight of the front bumper and winch, the front end is sagging a bit

The old front springs had an extra leaf to compensate for the very heavy pto winch present when I took ownership. I wasn't sure I would need to do anything to the new springs with the electric winch, but it looks like they'll need some help.

Then I got to thinking maybe I'll do something to level out the stance a little more as well. I got out the jack and jack stands and played around with some various heights. I think I've settled on a 4 inch lift on the front. And this will still leave a slight rake to compensate for load.

The first pic is stock and is 22 inches to the bottom of the winch fairlead. The other two pics are 26 inches to bottom of fairlead.

I'm going to start calling around to see if I can get stock type springs made with to provide the extra height I'm looking for.

Any thoughts?
