    i think people run a beefier coil with plate bumpers...maybe an OME 886 or 887

    Pretty sure 886 and 887 is second generation.

    882 or 883. I use 883 and they're pretty stiff. I think the 882 is a bit longer of a coil vs 883, but should support the bumper. 881 is for stock setup (ie no after market bumper).
