5100's w/ brush guard.

Hey so I've been searching for info on this pertaining to my truck. I have a 2002 tacoma with a brush guard on the front. Just ordered 5100's from downsouth motorsports. I like my rear height so that is staying stock with new 5125's. I was planning on setting fronts at the mid setting ( around 1"?) but I'm wondering if I should set it at the long setting since I have the brush guard on the front. Also I'm using my stock springs. This is all to level the front. Thanks for opinions guys.

 

id lose the brushguard all together.

 

I hear ya. Although it helped me this weekend when some dope in a Taurus backed into me.

 

Its just at higher speeds they tend to crumble into your engine and cause more damage where a plate bumper or hybrid or tube would push in all together and bend around. I dont know much about 1st gens but i know on 2nd gens its the springs that give you the lift and going over .75 causes damage.

 

Eventually ill end up with new "offroad" bumpers front and back because of rust.

 

Trail Armor just looks badass lol
