Need to level out the front end (pics)

So I have a 882, 891 on my runner, and recently added a ARN, a Winch, and budbuilts, then an optima battery. Now a few months later the front end is saggin. Maybe not bad, but I cant stand trucks that aren't level.

there it is right after lift


Here it is after a month or so right before all the heavy stuff went on


And yesterday


Anyways, i want to be level. I know you can use toop spaces on 882's, or do 883's. but would i need spacers on 883's too? I value a well setup suspension, so let me know what others have done.

If nothing else those pics will help people see what kind of sagging 882's will do

it looks pretty level to me? it kinda looks like your truck is not on a flat, level road... more or less leaning to one side?

Looks pretty level, the front is down maybe a tad. Like Mak said, it might be unlevel ground. Are you trying to achieve more lift or just a better stance?

Its not that un level, just enough to drive me crazy. im kinda tall so it looks slanted.

This would be a looks thing for me, and possibly make way for 34's later on.

Ive considred doing LC coils in the rear and the topout up front, hmmm, would this be level? Would 883's and topout be better for the heavy load?

Although my 882's are fine (no heavy bumper), some have had sagging issues with them. You could add a top plate to them and gain some height, or just go with 883's. The 883's have a higher spring rate and are reported not to sag with a bumper.

I have 883's... you can let me use your ARB and winch and I'll let you know if it sags any in about 6 months

If anything just get the 883s.. that way you don't have to bother with a whole new suspension front and rear.

I was one of the first to run the 883 and the first with the top plate spacer, besides some grueling cv angles its taken the weight of the arb and wheeling pretty well, blown a few cvs but besides that the ride is still smooth and I've lost .75" tops over the last 2 years
