    After 4 years with my lift, I discovered that I lost 1" in the front and 1/2" in the rear. So I installed OME Dakar add-a-leafs
    $82 D29XL Leaf Spring
    D29XL and cranked up my coil-overs. While I was in there, I also installed the u-bolt flip kit that came with my lift kit and also installed Wheelers Super Bumps. I had to drill out and tap holes to mount the rear bumps stops. It was a long day - 7 hours with no lunch break. The drivers side coil-over was a real bitch to crank up. The coil would not slide over the nut and was binding up. It took a lot of extra silicone spray and working the spanner nut back and forth with a cheater pipe on the wrench. In the end I won the battle.

    Thanks. I didn't feel that I needed the high clearance corners of the bigger bumpers.

    Yeahhhhhh, I probably didn't either but I think they look pretty sharp.
    Debating when I get a rear if I'll actually get the high clearance, I love the wrap around plate bumper style but don't do enough crawling or off roading to justify THE CUT

    Yep. I have the same debate. I definitely would like to have a bumper mount tire carrier. I just know having it underneath is gonna be bad someday.
