You all know the the suspension on my truck is still stock at the moment (to be changed in the future, so that i am more in touch with the sky :-" ) but it seems like my front springs have sagged quite a lot, because the truck doesnt sit level anymore. i think it is the weight of the bullbar, winch and side bars which have done it. so my question is when i put new springs in, how do i stop it happening?? put an extra inch on the front springs (eg, 5" back prings and 6" front springs) so when it saggs down it sits level or get stiffer springs (i wont get as much flex that way)
what would you do????

Hello me... Meet the real me
And my misfits way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possession
Hindsight is always 20-20,
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story... Tell it to Reader's Digest!
Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and
My air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit, and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets.

Coil springs need to be cycled many many times before they start to sag. I would say your's is lower only because of the extra weight up there. You can get a spring with a higher spring rate or one with the same rate and more lift.
