Longer coils or remove a leaf: Opinions

So I just installed a steel bumper and winch on my truck and the rake is a bit too much. I currently have OME 884 coils with Dakars in the rear, and I was planning to install 885's (already bought a set, just waiting until I have time to install them). I'm only running 265/75R16 tires though, and I'm not sure which would look better: bringing up the front 3/4-1" with the longer coils, or removing a leaf from each spring pack to drop the rear 3/4". The tires have 80% tread, and I don't want to make my mileage or acceleration any worse with bigger tires (new gears are not in the budget, and neither are new tires right now).

So, should I lift the front more, drop the back, or leave it? It was aligned before I installed the bumper and winch, so it's probably a tad off right now but will be perfect with the longer coils.

 

I say just install the 885's and call it good. You should get at least another 3/4" so it will look more level.

 

Just get coils up front and you will be good to go

 

Lift gets my vote.

I'm running the OME /lift with 31x10.5 r15, which is even smaller than the 265. It'll look great

 

Alright, 885 coils it is! Expect some 884's to show up in the for sale section in a month or so.
