4" springs in front with 3" springs in rear? will it work? saggy front!

I have a 3" full traction suspension and my jeep never really sat level, and now that I have a winch bumper and winch on it the front sits really low! I am wondering what some of my options are. I do not want to put any kind of spring spacers, I just want to replace the front springs with something differnt.

just order a set of 4" springs from full traction...

their 4" and 3" systems are the same with exception of the springs.

I had a TJ before I got my JK. The TJ did the same thing. It tended to have a forward lean to it, sometimes even without a winch. Guys on the TJ side of the forum put 3/4" spacers on the front springs (usually during a lift) to adjust the rake of the Jeep. When I lift my JK, I plan on putting 3/4" spacers in the front with the new springs because even the JK seems to have a little rake in it and I will be installing a winch later anyways.

I contacted James Kramer at Full Traction and he was a lot of help. He informed me that I had a standard 3" lift and that is way to soft of a suspension to put a bumper or any other equipment on the front. So he recomended that I put some 3" HD springs under to support the extra LBS!

I was wondering how you could have a problem, I have the ultimate 3" lift and its pretty stiff, I can sit on the bumper and it just doesnt move. I think the HD spring came with the kit I got.

Ya, I found out that the dealer ordered mine with the standard 3" springs instead of the HD springs!
