    Hello compatriots!

    I will be pickup up a ARC-1 full front bumper/X20 winch, set up this december. Now i don't plan on doing in rock climbing, but i do know i will need to beef up the front suspension to level her out again. any recommendations on a kit or set up that can give a small lift (2-3???) without going full billet and hard core?

    I have RCI skids and Mobtown sliders. Maybe 200 lbs of extra sprung weight on the front suspension. The stock setup drooped 3/4”. Bilstein 6112s got rid of the droop and raised the front another 1.25” on the 4/5 setting.

    My supposition is you can use standard 6112s with a bumper/winch or skids/sliders but if you run both you need to step up to 650 or 700 eibach springs.
