Default Preventing sagging?

Im adding a front and rear bumper with a winch in the front and a tire carrier on the back. I have a 3 inch Fabtech spacer budget lift so using spacers to prevent sagging is out. Any other ideas? All i could think of is new stiffer springs. Can any one recomend a nice set of springs?

Sag is on going problem as you add parts. Consider the JKS ACOS adjustable spacers.

If you are looking for coils look at the ones from OME and TF.

Stock springs won't help if he has a 3"bb.

what exactly is a coil lift? Just the coil springs that are 3-4 inch for like 200 bucks for the front and 200 for the back? if i added those and left the spacers wouldnt that bump me up to like 4 inches?
