    Hmm, for the v6 I know that OME 886's are a good option with an aftermarket front bumper, but I'm not sure if that is a good setup for the 4-cyl. Someone else will chime in.

    886's will work for the bumper and winch , but don't run 5100's with the 886 springs , go with the matched OME 90000's

    As someone who's had an ARB on with stock springs...don't. The ride was horrible.

    Get the good stuff. Go OME.

    Isn't the front set up the same as the 4cyl? Get some V6 springs if it is.

    If you are gonna buy V6 springs , why not just buy the ARB springs meant for the bumper ?

    I'm pretty sure the springs are gonna be the same I4 vs V6.
    Really, running the OME suspension is the best option. It's designed to handle the weight properly.
