    I have Eibach coils with 5100 all around with 1/4 spacer up front. I would like to add ARB bumper, sliders with fill plates, and some skid plates. I understand the ARB was meant for OME 886 setup but I don't have the money to replace my current setup. Can I add the mentioned armor without major issues? What problems will I have by adding so much weight? Does anyone have pictures resembling this?

    I have the eibach coils and 5100 with plate bumper, winch etc. I have no issues at all. The ride is very nice. My coworker has ome and 886 with similar armor and is very stiff compared to how mine rides.

    How long have you been running the eibach/5100 with the road armor? I'm just trying to make sure once I add the armor I won't have to replace my suspension within a couple years. Also what size tires are u running?

    I've had armor on with the lift combo since 03/14. The front has a slight rake since adding the all the armor I have, skids and all. I'm running 33" 255/85/16 km2.
