    ARE cap, wade inchannel vent visors, weathertec floor mats, ranch hand grill guard, tuffy security boxes in bed, lockable tailgate handle. Still have stuff that needs to be installed and still have stuff ordered lol.
    i'd like to add more weight to front of truck to get my 886 springs to settle so front is not so high. my rear dakkars have settled now it looks like front is alittle higher than rear lol
    i do not want to add a hd bumper to the front i kinda like the way it looks now with stock bumper and ranch hand grill guard.

    I'm not changing the springs n not changing front bumper lol
    instead of using $ for hd bumper better to spend that $ on skid plates and rock sliders :bananadance:

    886 springs are overkill on a truck unless you load up with armor

    Can always go with a hidden winch mount for a subtle look.

    IFS skid plate: 60 lb
    Hidden winch mount: 40 lb (?)
    Winch: 70 lb
    Total: 170 lb

    cheapest route would be to replace the springs and this will get the front end at the height where you want it.

    i have been thinking about that because that will work with the grill guard i have.
    also looked at southern style hybrid bumper but that i dont think southern style will work with ranch hand grill guard.

    There's no need for a grille guard when you put a heavy duty bumper on. It will protect your front end much better than a grille guard that just crumples into your hood and grille in an accident.

    A plate bumper offers much better protection of course. Amazing how easily the stock bumper is damaged off-roading, even on higher-clearance ones like on Wranglers.
