    Took several nose dives into mud holes and embankments today with the bumper. Hit stuff hard enough to dent the stock skid plate and the bumper is holding up fine. Yanked several people out with it last weekend. It’s definitely strong and I have no worries about it.

    I had no noticeable sag without the winch (sport with stock front springs). I lost about a 1/4 inch when I added the warne winch. Rake is still zero.

    I wrecked my 18 about 4 months in. My fit was very tight, if I attempted to place the bumper behind the two side tabs. I decided to keep mine in front of the two side tabs and it is fine.

    I have heard lots of mixed answers so im going to be annoying asking this.

    But

    I have 5100s with 887s and top spacer plate on drivers side. No skid plates (besides oem) and no winch will be added.

    Will I get too much sag still on this set up? I cant stand the stock nose dive look. So im weary of installing this if I will get sag and would rather just wait until I upgrade.

    I am currently running a rough country 3" coil over in the front with 2" blocks in the back, I have a full Blistine 5100s for the front and rear. 1/2 in spacer with Toytec 3" coils for the front and a Toytec AAL for 2 inches in the rear. I just have not gotten around to putting them on. My goal overall is the same 3in/2in leveling lift, but all Blistine struts/shocks to soften the ride a bit.

    so you know what your current coils are rated for weight? I’m asking because I have bilstein 5100s with ome 887s which are rated at 590lbs. So I’m not sure if that will cause sag in my front or not

    and that’s about a 2.5” lift on the coils.

    No I was saying my coils. I know yours are .5 longer.
    I’m getting a 2.5 on mine. I do have the top plate but that’s just to prevent the lean
