    Im looking to replace my struts with heavy duty struts. Im running a ARB winch bumper with a 8000lb warn winch. The issue im having is the bumper is pulling the front end of the truck down. I currently have rancho 2 1/2" lift struts but the are not holding the front end up. The truck i mainly used for hunting so lots of dirt roads and 2 trails. Whats the best heavy duty lift strut to hold the front end up? or do i need to go with a heavy duty strut and a leveling kit on top?

    upgrade to HD struts and coils. OME by ARB kits are great. Do not get bigger struts and lift spacers or youll bottom out your strut before you hit the bump stops.
