    Hey all, I just picked up these front coilovers from Cali Raised, and am wondering if the springs will handle the ARB summit bumper without sagging too much. If so, which springs should I go with?. Alternatively, if ppl have other front bumper reccs let me know.

    Really what I'm looking for is a bumper with a big brush guard that will let me mount an antenna, winch, and has enough room for my KC Daylighters. The Daylighters make it kind of tricky bc they're bulkier that a lot of LEDs out there, but I ripped them off my JK before selling it and would like them on there for nostalgia reasons. Thanks all.

    What coil rate did you order them with? If standard rate they will likely compress quite a bit requiring additional preload. ARB with winch is probably one of the heaviest combos on the market

    They're the 600lb springs but no clue what length, so not sure which 700lb to order.

    All the things!
    Your best bet, short of asking an expert for a "best guess" is to install them, set your desired preload (for height), and see if you get coil bind or constantly bottom out on your bump stops.

    My personal preference is to run as light of a spring as possible. I like my suspension to be compliant and squishy.

    If you end up with coil bind or bottoming out too easily, you'll want to upgrade to a heavier spring rate.
