Arb bumper/coils

I have looked but haven't found quite what I'm looking for.
I have a 2006 AC 4wd and just installed 4 new 5100's. Now I'm wanting to purchase an ARB bumper. I have the front 5100 set on 1.75 and like that look, also got my alignment where I wanted it to be without uca. Which coils will I need to get in order to stay around the same lift height? OME 885? when I eventually do get a winch it will be one of the lighter ones with synthetic line.
Thanks for any insight on this.

 

886's will probably work the best

 

I have heard to were the 886 were still Too stiff with somebody running A Winch and an extra battery and they went to 885. But Everybody is different in their terms of "stiff". I'm concerned with lift height bc I want to keep the 265/75's and keep the height its at now. Would 886 not bring it up to where I would need Ucas

 

With adding all that extra weight I am not sure how much sag will happen. So I don't want to quote the wrong spring. I will bring in our OME expert for you @OZ-T any chance you can help him out???

 

How heavy is the bumper?

 

I've heard all kinds of different numbers but I can pick one up by hand and not struggle. I believe they are 110. The winch I will be getting should be about 45 lbs

 

But a winch will come later.

 

Sliders or other armor?

 

Nothing right now. Maybe one day.

 

I would go with what Rick said above. Am interested to see what Oz has to say.

 

A winch with synthetic line isn't going to make any real difference in your springs vs steel cable weight. Don't rely on that as a reason for being able to get by with 885's.

 

A winch with a steel cable will be around 80 lbs. seems a bit heavy to me vs. 45 lbs but I'll take your word for it.

I want to keep factory uca, I thought 886 gave too much lift for that.

 

Looking to get around 1.75-2" of lift after coil has settled if that's any help. I know somebody knows or has this setup

 

My point is 885's are not designed to hold up the extra weight of a bumper and winch, regardless of steel cable or synthetic line. It MIGHT sit where you want on that set up with 885's when your truck is parked, but that is static weight. Once you start driving it, cornering and braking is where the weight becomes a dynamic force on the springs and is when the 886's will be what you wish you had. If you get a steel bumper and synthetic line winch for a combined weight of 125lbs (and that is light for both) that is still 125lbs more than what 885's are designed for. Don't forget you will have other weight associated with it as well with either dual batteries or a bigger single battery for the winch. It all ads up.

I wish you luck with your decision.

 

I get What your saying now. But I'm also concerned about the amout of lift too. I'm trying to stay 2" or less. Is that something the 886 will settle to?

 

what do y'all think about the eibach 620lb Springs for the arb? Not much less weight than the 886. Since I already have 5100's on the truck maybe the eibachs will be a better match??

 

If the 886's gave too much height, couldn't the Billy's be dropped to the .86? That way you'd get the additional capacity and retain the height you want. Stronger spring and adjustable seat.
FWIW, I have no experience with any of this, just thinking about the previous posts.

 

I have 886 coils and it rides like a truck lol.

 

But the 887 sounds like they might be the best for you if you want to keep 2" or a little less and a soft ride
