ARB Bumper and winch

after about 4 months with my ARB bumper and winch on my 2010 Tacoma I have noticed that the front end has settled alot lower than before i put it on, It doesnt suprise me due to the fact it is a stock suspension, hopefully after I get my 6in lift it will level out, any of u guys notice the front end lower on stock supension with this setup

 

You are basically adding more weight to the front, so its going to sit a little bit lower. I heard its about 100lbs that is added to the front of the truck with ARB bumper. I know guys that run coilovers had to adjust them up to compensate for the extra weight. Sorry I couldn't be too much help for you. GL

 

I appreciate the input, u confirmed what I thought, do u think add my 6in lify will level it out

 

It depends on the lift. I think with 6 inch lift, they use diffrent springs. You might want to find out what kind of springs they are using and see if you can get some heavier duty springs. Or if it is a coilover setup, then just adjust the coilover. I have seen like 2 kits that uses coilovers with there 6 inch lift, but I think they were upgrade on the kits.

 

Do you know what 6 inch lift kit you are getting yet?

 

Ya, its the pro comp 6in, stage 1, no ajustable coilovers, cant afford the stage 2 yet

 

I think it will sit a little lower, but not by much. You won't be able to tell unless you try it. Maybe someone with the 6 inch procomp and ARB will be able to chime in. GL

 

I am sure with the bumper and winch it is close to 200 pounds

 

with a stage 1 lift, its going to sit with the same stance more than likely. The stock front suspension just cant handle the weight of the bumper and winch.

 

sorry if this is a newb question but I thought the Stage 1 lift will replace the stock bilstein shocks therefore giving the front end more beefier front shocks to hold more weight, cuz the stage 1 says it comes with ES9000 series shocks, correct me if I am wrong I am now in a predicament

 

how much do you think it dropped. Im added a warn transformer and winch so Im debating on what size coil spacer to use...1.5 or 2. I guess im going to have to let it settle first or id be wiping before i crapped.
Just curious on what to expect

 

its a coil spacer that goes on top olf you stock shocks/ coil those shockas are for the rear
