    What suspension are you all running or going to be running with this bumper? I have a complete OME setup with 885 springs and I'm hearing that the weight of the bumper will eventually cause it to sag in the front. Anybody experience this? Thanks guys!

    Oh man, so they all come with the fold down table @EddyRRT ? I don't remember seeing that option but it's awesome.

    I'm actually changing my suspension up thursday after I go to Eddys to pick up my stuff from my order prior to gb. Everyone said go 886. So I've got 886s

    When I spoke to Marie from HeadStrong, she said to go with 886 springs if you have about 200 pounds of load (bumper + winch) in front. She also said the ride may be a lot stiffer if I don't have all that weight up front with the 886 springs. I don't think I'll be getting a winch anytime soon.

    I'm getting front bumper with hoops and full skids and sliders with kick out and top plate. Lots of weight lol. :benchpress: Bumper weighs 125lbs... Doesn't take much more to justify 886s from there.

    bunch of stuff - Bro Pro style

    I have 5100s and 885s up front - I'm going with an aluminum bumper.... should I worry about going with 886s or just wait until I get a winch and worry about it then??

    I like the ride with the 885's, I wouldn't want to go back to the stiffer ride like it was stock with the sport suspension. It's stiffer in the rear than stock for sure (Icon AALs) and I'm good with that but
    the front is nice the way it is now with 885s.

    FYI when I got my aluminum front I had 885s and had bought 886s but never installed them (I also had the 1/4 topplate spacers on my 885s OME front struts). Anyway with the bumper, winch, and IFS skids I didn't even really notice it loose any height if at all.

    That bumper might weight all of 60lbs lol I could curl it holding it by the hoops easy
