    All depends on the weight of the bumper you are going with honestly. What bumper do you plan on purchasing?

    Honestly, what I would first recommend you do is the following.

    1. Take a static factory ride height measurement from the center of the wheel hub to edge of fender (all 4 corners)

    2. Install kit, drive it for about 3-500 miles (to let everything settle in) and take the ride height measurement again.

    3. Install bumper (if you decide to go that route), drive it for 1-150 miles

    4. Take ride height measurement again and see how much you have "sagged out".


    IF you are sagging 3/4''-1'' full inch, I would recommend getting a "firmer" spring rate to help compensate.

    Remember, the coilovers you purchased are ride height adjustable so you can always adjust them accordingly to whatever you want (1-3'').

    Also one thing to note, the coilovers are going to have a "DS and PS" on them meaning "Driver Side and Passenger Side", make sure you install them that way. We build them here in house pre-adjusted out of the box to help compensate for the driver side lean..



    Let me know if you have any questions!
