Coil spring upgrade question

After having done a little more research, I am editing this post.

Essentially, here is what I’m dealing with.
5100s up front with stock springs. Will be adding a 97lb tube bumper next week. Will eventually install a winch and skid plates.

I’ve been seeing that, with this kind of load (+ the V6), my choice for supporting that load without sagging should be the OME 2883s.

However, those claim they give a fairly significant lift. I’m not worried about lifting the truck so much as I am just… not sagging. Yes, I understand the extra weight will compress that but… I’m not planning on lifting the rear any further than it already is (~1in with Icon AAL), and if I end up lifting up the front too high it’s gonna look like it’s squatted in the back.

I’d like to maybe raise the front a little to get rid of the rake, but that’s about it. And I’m afraid the 2883s are going to give me too much lift, even with the extra weight.

Would 2881s or 2882s be acceptable? Or should I just go with the 2883s?

 

Bump!

I'm kind of leaning towards just increasing the preload on the 5100s with the stock springs, at least until I add the winch and skids.
If the extra ~60lbs (approx. difference in weight between stock bumper and all-pro bumper) isn't going to make it sag that much maybe I can just bump the preload up to the second notch? Currently they're on the lowest setting and the ride height is about where I want it. Been trying to think of a 60lb item I can hang on the front to simulate the extra weight but haven't thought of anything yet. Like 8 gallons of water I suppose, but I don't have a container that large.

 

Sorry, can’t help answer but maybe I can page someone that can. @memario1214 might be able to help answer your questions.
