Actually I have an MDB Bumper coming, so seeing how your's is sitting stock, tells me I may want to go up one notch on front springs.

Ya, I guess it depends on how you want it to sit when it's done. In the pic I posted my rear was a bit on a hump. Here is another photo to give you another view. It has very little rake in the rear...maybe 1/2". But with a heavier bumper it certainly would be more. Remember I have 2 1/2" lift kit in front and only 1" spacers in the rear, not sure what your setup is. From what I have read the Moog 81114 will give an additional 1/2" or so in the front. Hope that helps.

You may have already seen this but here are the Moog spring rates and free heights:
