Stiffer springs option?

[Broncosavage]

Old man emu have some stiffer springs if I'm not mistaken. Not sure if they work on different struts or just their own product. Keep in mind they designed them for overlanding.

If you're not loaded up all the time then some air ride helper springs could be ideal for your situation.

I had contemplated this also.

if you are doing lots of overlanding I would take a close look at old man emu. They are coilovers so they will be more expensive than just spring replacement but the advantage is they can be tuned to your weight requirements. They have a few different spring rate’s including a stiffer option. Also the shocks are designed for their spring rates and specific to overlanding. They probably won’t have too much lift over SAS. Maybe only an inch depending on the spring rates you choose and should be able to get front end alignment without new UCA. Not super expensive. I think <2k. They probably also ride fine on road when the back is not loaded up.

I went with 6100 bilstein shocks and the factory springs mainly for the height adjustability. Also I don’t do enough overlanding right now for the OME setup. But would have gone OME if I did more overlanding.

The ARB/Old Man will not work on stock SAS shocks. I found out the hard way. Wish I had an alternative.

I have the Old Man Emu Heavy front springs and struts in my front end. I have Badlands SAS with 37's winch bumper and skids, it brought front end back up and prevented nose diving on braking over the stock setup.
I recommend these if you increase the front weight.

Eibach now make them. I'm running WT HOSS 3.0 Fox Shocks with Eibach pro springs in the front and Eibach HD pro springs in the rear (level's the truck when loaded for overlanding). See thread:

I suppose you have a 2.7 as well, so you already have the stiffest factory springs. I love the way my 2.3/2dr feels with 2.7/4dr springs.

The perch collar idea should help.

I recently installed a front winch on my 2.3 base 2 door non-sas. Sags a little now with more rake than I’d prefer. Do you think adding the 2.7 springs up front would help my case? Any idea on part numbers?
