    The 886 is made to handle to added weight of the bumper so yes you should upgrade if you want to add more weight and keep the same height

    I will say though if your just adding a bumper and not a winch, and a whole bunch of other armor the 885 will be fine. All depends on how much beef is in that front bumper

    It's been said a lot on here that 886 are not recommended for the bilstein 5100's so I would say go to the 887 which is .5 longer and with the added weight that should put it in 885 territory.

    I had 885s on billies, but later went to 887 for the added height. Same comfortable ride.
