    Eibach coils man. Much higher spring rate then even the 882s. Or just suck it up and live it it. 1/4'' is like nothing man. Not really noticeable. Just keep it on and get the winch and see what happens after it.

    also why are you mounting a light bar to it? why not mount the lights to the bumper???

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Yeah I would go with some new coils before you take the bumper off. I had 5100"s and Eibach coils with a xrc8 and little to no sag. Maybe pick up some 885's I don't know the spring rates on OME coils but over 600lbs is a must for these plate bumpers.

    i think 885s are 2nd gen only..and 882s are like 550 i think...:notsure:


    Correction, they are only 500lb springs according to Wheelers..

    however the 883s are 590lb..but don't provide any lift.
