    While I am at it who here is running 886 with the sway bar removed? Thoughts?

    Thanks! Did you run UCA's with this setup? If not, how was the alignment?

    Is your front bumper steel? I bought my OME Coilovers used from someone that had already broken them in with an SOS Steel Front Bumper and put roughly 8,000 miles on them. Right now All I have is an All Pro Skid and the ride isn't too rough. Only thing rough is if I go over speed bumps too quickly

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Yes.

    My setup I initially bought from a member with 4K miles on it, and he bought his with 885. He sold his taco and got a fullsize. But I got great deal for it I could easily change the parts later.

    Not yet, should I go steel or synthetic? Which will be better for the 886's?

    Pros n cons for each. Steel costs less and is sun/weather proof. Synthetic costs wayyyyyy fucking more but isn't as dangerous in the event of a break.

    Also I guess weight is a factor, although a winch is pretty heavy as it is.

    I've also read that the synthetic line has to be changed every 2-3 years or so

    Wit steel, you need to be careful when unspooling and so looking it back in. You may find burrs in the line.

    Also remember that if a synth line breaks, there's a chance you can splice a new line out of it.

    I'm going synth with my winch because I'd rather just get bad rope burn vs being cut in half.
