Eibach Coils + Steel Bumpers

I was just wondering how many people were running a front plate bumper with the Eibach coils. Will it be able to manage the added weight of the bumper?

The ride can be pretty harsh already on washboards but I can live with it really easy. I'm worried though that if I go through with the bumper it's going to go from bearable to kidney shattering.

I'm planning on going with Relentless unless something really catches my eye before I get a chance to order. They offer the Aluminium version but does that defeat the purpose of the bumper by using a weaker metal?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Extra weight will make it feel softer, not firmer.

 

Monte (blackdawg has bilstien shocks and eibach coils on his 96, he has a bunch of extra weight on them and they work great.
