Burning up my clutch

After doing upper terminator and table mesa w/the AZclassic bronco club and running mud springs (also a 3.5) a few weeks ago with TTORA, I seem to have to problems I need to fix. After 15 to 20 minutes on the trail, I can smell my clutch and feel it fading. I am running 5.29's with 35's. Is it time to buy the lefty from inch worm? Would it be cheaper to do some kind of dual setup with gear type transfer cases? My other problem is how low I am in the front. It seems I am always on the front skid plate or the sliders. Really my truck did not do that bad on the upper terminator run, I only had to bypass one obstacle, and I know a front locker would have helped on the obstacle I had to bypass. Although I think it would be sucide for my IFS to lock it.

Whats everyone think?

my best guess on the clutch is you need a new one and pressure plate...
about the front have you thought of long travel a-frames??? and not sure about the sway away coil overs but OME does have different strengths on the coils maybe your preference to get the heavy or medium beings you do not have much of a bumper!!
Maybe some one else will ring in here!!!!!!!
