Springs compress too much after winch bumper

[hitech_hick]

I am running a 4 inch suspension (trailmaster) and 3 inch body lift, my fenders are trimmed, and I sportin' 35's. After I added my winch and bumper (about 200# combined weight) I can't seem to keep my tires out of my fenders. The truck doesn't seem to sit any lower, but I can sure feel it on the bumps. Have thought about harsher shocks, longer bumpstops, and longer or stiffer springs. Any suggestions?

Go with a 6" coil, or maybe just a 4" superlift coil. People are always complaining their too stiff, in your case I think it'll work. You may be able to trade someone for your slightly softer coils.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. I have also considered 4 inch f150 coils, but I don't want my COG too high. I could stand going up an inch or two, but I wouldn't want any more lift than that.

4" F150 coils will put you way up there. I'd try a set of leveling or 2.5" coils. I was running F150's and a 1.75" spacer for a 4" lift when I still had the TTB under my truck.
