Default Lift suggestion

I own a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. It has somewhat of a hybrid lift, but it is basically a 2.5" lift. The only difference is I removed the 'pucks' and put bigger springs in. Unfortunately the springs I have are just about completely compressed because of all the extra weight I have on it. I have a steel front and rear bumper, winch, full skid plates underneath and a Gobi cargo rack. So needless to say I have a lot of extra weight on it. I'm only running 33" tires on it and have no real desire to go any higher. Mostly because this setup has done everything I have asked of it. What lift would you suggest to get my springs to not be so compressed and get my original lift height back?

Thanks in advance.

The AEV 2.5" kit comes with dual rate coils that are made to take the extra weight of bumpers/winch/rack/etc, and It will give you plenty of clearance for the 33's

Thanks. Does Northridge do a military or member discount?

Would it still give me enough room to stuff a 35 under there? I wasn't looking to go bigger, but I found 35 KM2s that will fit my 15" rims.
