OK, so about a month ago I put on the AEV spacer lift on my 2021 Willys. Looked great and retained the original rake that the truck had, which works for me, when I tow my boat or pop-up. The issue now is with the Rugged Ridge Arcus front bumper and a Badland Apex winch, the difference in fender hight from the ground is 3". I have 37.5" from ground to the bevel in the front fender, and 40.5" in the back.

So I think the best option here is to add a taller/stiffer spring to the front to try and level it out a bit. I'm not looking for a complete levelling result, so here is what I'm thinking, and I'm looking for your feedback/experiences/advice, etc.

1) Get a set of Rubicon front springs? Are they stiffer and longer to really make any significant difference over the stock springs on my Willys?
2) Get 2-2.5" lift springs like a set of ICONS or Teraflex dual rate springs.
3) other options?
