Re: Is this too heavy for stock front suspension?

For what it's worth, I bought my 885's through Toytec Lifts after speaking with a guy named Kirk (as suggested in another thread on this forum). Of the several people I spoke with on this subject, he made the most sense. I explained that I would be getting a Road Armor bumper with Titan (~120lbs) (hopefully here next week) and would likely get a winch in the near future. Kirk suggested the 885's with the Toytec kit, as apparently the 885's alone don't give a lot of lift. I went with Toytec's rear RCC2.0 purely on Kirk's advice. Toytec is at 303-255-4959.


(FYI - I don't have the new coils on yet as the aforementioned Toytec spacer that goes over the front strut was a concern for my local 4-Wheel Parts folks. They gave me a hard time about putting them on since they don't sell/rep. this particular component. Wanted me to sign a liability waver and agree to pay for labor associated with any failed attempts to install. I called Kirk back to get get his opinion on this exchange and he assured me that this is a 100% solid set-up and they haven't had any issues. I'm going to have another local shop do it who says it's no big deal... hopefully later this week. I should also point out that I'm keeping the "stock" Bilstein's that came with my TT Edition.)

Good Luck!!!

Let me know how your setup works after the install. Good luck

Re: Is this too heavy for stock front suspension?

My 2 cents, I have the Allpro Bumper, large light loop and the winch. Stock springs w/ 3 inch spacer lift. No sag.
AllPro bumper is about 90lbs with the light bar. It's also one of the lightest in the market, thats why I bought it. The ARB bumper is way heavier than AllPro's.

Don't know if this will work, hang an aproximate weight of your winch to your bumper and see how much it sags and how it rides.
