Stock height with ARB plate bumper.

Believe it or not. I will be removing my OME rear leafs and going with General Spring leafs. I want to go back to more of a stock suspension set up. However I dont want to lose my bumper. No which, just the bumper. I plan on running General Springs 4(3/1) leafs with my stock shocks. Up front I would like some pointers. I still want to run my bumper but more of a stock ride height. What shock / coil set up could I run. I current have the OME lift kit with the 886 coils. Also be going back to a stock ish less aggressive tire 265/65/16's.

Thanks

 

anyone?

 

@Dobinsons Mike any pointers?

On Saturday, I installed an ARB on my '13 DCSB without any lift. Without the winch, I've lost at most a 1/4" height. No issues with my 265/75's either. I weighed the bumper, mount and hardware before installing it and then weighed everything I removed. Net increase in weight was 131lbs (again, no winch).

 

I would recommend the Bilstein 6112's, they come with their own springs and you can adjust for just the lift you need to compensate for the weight of the bumper. That is what I did to adjust for the weight of my skid plates and sliders.
Give @HeadStrong Off-Road a shout, they can help you sort it out and are great for prices and service, IMO.

 

Do you have before and after pics? Im thinking about putting my stock suspension back on and running my bumper.

 

265/65/16 is smaller than stockers.

 

I don't have one, yet, from the side with the ARB. I'll take one and post it along with an older pre install photo.

 

@SpeedwayTaco160 Here's a before and after. I tried to get a similar angle picture and remeasured. Only at most a 1/4" drop still. I included a side view too.

 

Looks good.
