Default Stiffer Springs

I got my truck rolling under its own power for the first time last night. The front end is riding really low. I know it's overkill, but I have a 2s 7600mah Lipo mounted up front. I don't want to swap out the stock suspension just yet, but I wouldn't mind putting some stiffer springs up front. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you try adding preload to the front shocks

Wow, I feel like a moron for not thinking of that. Let's say hypothetically that doesn't solve the problem, what would you recommend?

7600mah? Wow. I'm guessing you don't like to change out batteries?

Not perticularly. Plus, I do a lot of hiking. Usually 5+ miles at a time. I'd prefer to have something that can last the whole trip.

Also, this was my first rig with a Lipo battery (I know I'm a few years behind). I think I underestimated just how long my run times might be. It wasn't until after I ordered it that I was reading posts about people getting 2+ hours on a 5000mah pack
