Default Suspension leveling question

Hi all, I have a 2009 wrangler JKU x. I originally installed a teraflex 2.5 BB and that gave me the lift and leveling i wanted. However now I have installed a new bumper and winch and am experiencing sag in the front end as I expected might happen. My question is what can I use for an upgraded spring in the front without changing shocks. I don't wish to go any higher just level the rake again and have a heavier duty front spring.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Replace front spacer with old man emu 2.5 springs. Your old springs have sagged

I hate to say it but opinions on all the forums state if you install TF springs they will sag like the factory springs over time. I witnessed it myself on my brothers JKUR...

add a rear bumper? take out a rear spacer and use a smaller one? i have to agree though i would just get a progressive 2.5 coil as mentioned. Personally hate spacers.
