Coil spring/winch bumper delima
Ive got a 77 f150 4x4 reg cab with a very HD winch bumper and 8k warn up right. My uncle that passed away built the bumper so im not letting it go. I currently have 6.5" superlift coils up front and 5.5" superlift soft ride leaf springs in the rear, and the truck still nose dives about 1.5-2 inches. My Question is I want to get some 9" springs for the front (and probaly a new or modified d-shaft) to level and maybe give the truck an inch higher stance up front. My problem is to go with skyjacker or superlift. I know the skyjacker will ride better hands down, but the superlift springs will be firmer and might be better for the bumper weight. Thanks for any help or input. And I am staying away from bodylifts and cutting the fenders since I want the truck body to look as it did when my uncle had it.

I posted this in this forum because it is a suspension question. Do I maybe need to post it in the 4x4 forum or the 73-79 forum to get any results? I don't want to ask a supplier because they are going to tell me what ever they can make more money on.
