Nice jugs

Sure are!! Two big ones too
So as you can see I swapped out my blue jug with spout for a 5 gallon one with no spout.
I decided to just add one and this is the outcome.

Well I originally had a similar bumper. This version just happens to be a high clearance version. I'm carry similar amount of stuff on the swing out. The only extra weight would be the high clearance part.
The high clearance bumper without the swing outs weights right around ~130-135lbs. The factory bumper and hitch was around ~100lbs
Didn't get to weight the swing outs but the duel swing outs plus heavy duty spindles probably weights around ~60lbs
Anyways with my old brute force fab bumper I had stock leaf and 1inch block. Wasn't much lift and I wasn't going for much height at the time.
Now with the new bumper and 3 progressive aal in place of the 1inch block. Hope for more lift didn't play out. Seem like the 3leaf acted more like the inch block but added spring rate overall.
Rear sits similar to my old set up but now I have fox up front I wanted a little more lift. The rear sag and is lower than the front if I had to guess the front is around 2.5-2.75 lift. Rear is probably around 2-2.5 if that.
Been checking out the SFK Sean and Addison have been running. The basic SFK is $240 plus $80 for 6" shackles.
With just the SFK I could gain 3/8" of lift on top of what I have. with 6" shackles I could gain 1.5" on top of what I have irrc.
Now the debate goes do I spend $240 for SFK or get a custom set of rear leafs for the weight I have.
I do know I want at least .75-1" lift in the rear as I tow a Rzr a few times a year.

Been working on mounting my shower pump using a stainless steel I had from an old project. The plate bolts to two existing nutserts in the fender area. Than I installed 4 nutserts for the Water pump to bolt to. Came out a lot better than I expected lol.

Just looking at your last picture, she squats a bit loaded down. If be leaning toward custom leaf packs. I be live if you add the shackle reversal kit and longer shackles it will only be a band aid lift on overloaded springs.

Yeah. It's pretty bad. The parking lot slops down hill to the rear so it looks even worst on the photos. After what you said. You are right. The sfk won't change how overloaded the springs are. Guess I'll be looking at custom spring pack soon. After my Moab trip.
