For starters my truck has always sagged at the front with the superlift. Now as im running an rlc bumper, 12k lb winch it sags even more (winch is heavier than bumper) im at my wits end. I pulled sport trac t bars out and swapped them in and swear they are worse than what i had. Bottom line is the front end of my truck needs to come up an EASY 3 inches. What can i do? Are coilovers the answer? If so where can i turn for a decent price for parts and hardware

It sounds like coilovers with 800-850lb springs would help.

This thread has lots of info on the coilover conversion, as well as the sourcw for new brackets. Hes the one I bought mine from.
 






That hyper link didnt take me any where on here. How much did it run you? Did you do a basic conversion or did you get gnarly coilovers
 












I was going to suggest lift spindles but I see that youre AWD. All I can think of is ditching those torsion bars.
 






I used to embarrass other minor league rigs now i look like a shmuck, im all jacked up loaded and sag soooo bad, my winch weighs more then my rlc bumper which weighs more than stock, and my kc's fill it out but add no more weight. All i want is for this truck to sit proper. This truck gets alot of attention around my way and yet i feel embarrased because of its stance.
