1999 cher sport, adding winch and rear tire carrier, suspension question
I am adding a 8k smittybilt winch and prolly a detoursusa winchmount,,,, and on the back I am fabbing up a tire carrier using the exsisting bumper as a base...
When I bought this jeep the owner told me it's a rusty's 3.5 inch lift. I am guessing it's a 3 inch. It has disconnects and cut fenders. I am running 33x12.5 15 inch tires (goodyear mtr)...
What my question is, is I know that adding the equipment I listed above will sag the jeep because of weight. What do you suggest I add to the suspension to alleviate this and keep it about the height it currently is?
Here's some pics of the jeep...any help is of course appreciated

my coils in the front look like they have 2 inch spacers now,,,,I am thinking i may have to buy a set of springs longer for the front and then put the spacers in them
