    Just put 886 coils up front and am putting an arb bumper up front w a winch (synthetic line). is this gonna be enough to pull the front end down a bit? Looking a little Bro-ish right now with the nose in the air.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    ARB and winch? Oh yeah. That'll help to bring it down again.

    Left my 10 mil spacers on the coils in order to get the full 3 inches. Should I have left em off or will this settle like the 885s did before the bumper. I want a level lift in the end

    FWIW I have dakars paired with 886s and no spacers. With ~135lbs hanging off the front and full skids I have rake. With your setup you'll be about 200lbs right? I think you'll be sitting pretty. If not, pull the spacers out.

    How do you like suspension lift as opposed to spacer lift?
    How about ride difference?
    Bout to do same thing , just want to do it once.

    So, I'm buying a much nicer winch than I was planning to get...

    I'm thinking I might not want to hide it in the bed all of the time! :D

    So, I'm wondering about spacers for the front coils.

    This is my thinking. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    My truck as it sits now is just a hair higher in the front. Without any air in the bags of course. This is with 5100's at 1.75 and stock coils in the front. Stock leafs in the back.

    So, with the 5100's the front is already raised a couple of inches and sitting pretty much level.

    If the OME stuff is a true 3" lift up front and 2.5-3" in the rear over stock with the full leaf pack, it seems to me, I'll have a rake with the nose down some.

    This is fine, but the winch and mounting bar will be close to 200lbs.

    What do you think about small spacers up front?

    I'd say 886's for the weight. If you want more lift you could go spacers too.

    I have 887's and they sit lower after a full set of skids.

    Whatever you do make sure you "Counteth to Three!" Then read the instructions because you can't count to five, and only count to two if you proceedeth to three!
