    Looks like I may have to rethink my purchase... Maybe I'll just hold off on any bumper for now until I save up a little cash for some new coils?

    This whole "om6 All-Pro is crap" shit is SO old. The guy was fucking asking about a suspension upgrade, not about the quality of the bumper. Don't take over his thread because somebody has a different opinion.

    iirc most sites tell you if you are installing an offroad bumper to get the bigger spring

    Thank you all for your relevant posts. Mods should be enforcing this a little bit more, not encouraging it. There's a time and place for discussing the proclaimed dimensions of a product. Take it up with the company directly, or go to their sub-forum and directly post it there.

    It's just getting SUPER ridiculous, an off-topic thread about random shit is one thing. Dude was asking a simple question.

    I don't see anything about the bumper's dimensions or weight in the OP's question. Am I missing something?

    To the OP, yes, get new springs and shocks. My ARB is heavier than All Pro (They're designed with different uses in mind, mine is for bambi bowling not high approach angle rock crawling) and it made my bumper swat something fierce. That wasn't the issue though, when going over bumps it rocked the suspension hard and made whatever I was going over seem 3 times the size than it really was.

    PS - ARB FTW!


    PPS - Derek, here ya go buddy!

    Yeah, a spot on your nose. :)

    This sounds like a healthy debate. Many like their bumper - some don't. I just think a few feathers were ruffled when there was a claim of 3/16 - inferring that the whole thing was that thick! Having worked on a few... I don't think it was that thick. It's a different philosophy. Why weight down a bumper with welds and thick stuff if you don't need or want that? :)

    People can draw their own conclusions.

    A healthy debate that shouldn't be taking place in this particular thread. ;)
