Winch bumper lift kit help needed.

I have an 81 pickup with an arb winch bumper and 3" lift kit. I really dont want that much lift because I run 32's and I like keeping as much low center of gravity as possible. When I installed the winch bumper the front was only lowered about a half inch (Superlift Springs). Is there anyway to change springs and only get just enough lift to clear the 32's? I have seen the NWOR 2" soft ride but thought that it may sag to much with the additional weight of the winch bumper. Any help would be much appreciated.

use longer shackles to compensate for the 1/2" sag from the wieght of the bumper. stock is 3.5" so 5.5 or 6 should work. I do beleive its 1/2" lift for every 1" depending if your springs dont go negative
