    yeah thats a good point but I no have cv's I'm already at 4.5-5 in the front. But hopefully if I set them at 2" they will settle to just under 5. Which is where I'm at now. Hopefully.

    A suspension that technically will do nothing to prevent him from getting stuck versus a bumper which he can mount a winch to to help with self recovery when he does get stuck. Which we all know will happen? Function or lift "y'all"

    You are correct, but when it comes down to it, being 2wd, he would technically benefit more from the bumper with a winch than he would from suspension. Though I would go suspension for ground clearance and looks over a bumper.

    I disagree, when he's out on a trail and he's having to actually articulate, instead of just being on a dirt road, and he's got one wheel up in the air due to only having a spacer lift like he currently does and his 2wd aka 1wd sends all the power to one wheel his bumper will be useless. If he had a better suspension he'd be able to keep his rear axle on the ground more efficiently. So I'd say suspension or honestly trade it for a 4wd hehe

    ALTHOUGH, having that winch has gotten me into some very sticky situations as John and Wes know first hand. It gives me more confidence than I need sometimes. Then again, it makes it so I know I can wheel alone without fear of etting stuck, it's a catch 20.

    This part may be key in this situation. I think both sides have good points to this discussion.
