    Built a custom bumper and going to replace front springs w ome 2" taller coil spring. Currently have 5100's on highest setting which gives 2-2.5" height increase as is. One inch block in the back. Question is, should i move the 5100s to the stock height and just have the new ome coil springs give it the 2 inch lift. I dont want it higher than 2 or 2.5 so i dont mess with drive shaft angles and diff etc.. Anyone have this setup or experience with this combo?20230410_174917.jpg 20230407_131901.jpg 20230406_194215.jpg 20230410_174917.jpg

    I like the bumper but I think you should have mounted a winch up there too.

    I think the question is do you need new springs? I did so I went with the OME 2884 for stock vehicles but with your bumper weight you might want to consider a 2885 or 2886.

    Bumper is still a work in progress, and yes i agree on winch. yes on the springs, they are unevenly gapped and flaking chunks off themselves.
