    I have this combo but I don’t have a plate bumper. I do have the @usoffroad front bumper with a superwinch installed. Overall the weight should be comparable to a full plate bumper and no winch. I originally got about 2 1/4 lift with a 1/4 spacer on driver side, after bumper and winch I am at about 1 5/8 on both sides. I’m gonna add half in spacers to each side to get lift back.

    Okey, I just got 2 inches of lift with a plate bumper. Driver side lean wasn’t corrected with 1/4 plate, I will see what else in this trucks geometry besides weight causes this lean.

    yep..
    No 885s but I have 884s with bilsteins. Used a 3/8 spacer drivers side and lean is fully corrected. I have a Pelfreybilt aluminum bumper (50-60 lbs) and the ride is relatively stiff, but good. Probably not the best off road. I'm looking at an ARB bumper to get more weight up front and soften the ride.

    Got 2.5" lift. AC 4 cyl

    Used to have bilsteins with stock coils set a few notches up and that ride was softer than the 884s at the first notch.

    Worn radiator support bushings contributing to lean?

    Is that a wheel lock or have you lost a wheel nut?

    Had a wheel lock but lost the tool, so leave it without for a while
