Suspension Help for ARB and Relentless Bumper Additions

I'm hoping to get your feedback on an impending bumper purchase and how it will affect my suspension. I have a 2013 access cab with a long bed, a campershell, and a platform and storage system in the bed. The suspension is a full OME kit (884x, no top plate spacers, and full dakar pack) with light racing UCAs. It has a slight factory-like rake, which I like. Here's a pic for reference:



I'm thinking of getting an ARB front bumper (no winch) and a Relentless Fab standard rear bumper and swing out tire carrier, and I'm wondering what I should do to the suspension for a net zero change in height. As far as I can tell, the ARB bumper weights about 170lbs, and the Relentless bumper and tire carrier weigh about 150 lbs. The swing out gate likely will carry a full spare and a couple of Rotopax. I was thinking of getting the 885x springs and the extra dakar leaf spring. 886x could be an option as well, but that depends on what the extra dakar leaf does.

Do you think the sag from the new stuff will cancel out any lift from the new springs? Again, I like the current lift height and rake, but wouldn't want any more rake. I could live with just a little less rake.

Many thanks.

 

I would ask in the "suspension" section within the forum. If no luck there I would ask in the "Armor" section. Good luck man.

 

Why not a Relentless front bumper too?

I'd take current fender to hub measurements, install everything and drive it for a week, then take measurements and go from there.

 

Rear cap/storage, iron bumper and tire swing out will be adding your weight to further aft CG. Think how airplanes/boats are loaded.

I have all that too and AP Expedition rear springs #400 were not enough. I also haul a #2000 trailer and went to air bags on the rear w/5160's. On the front iron with winch I have 6112's w/#600 springs only cause of the 4 banger. V6 might need #650-700 in the front

 

With that much weight added you will sag and will probably ride real soft and spongy.
I’d order the 886 coils since you already have ome shocks and the extra Dakar leaf. It’ll support the weight better and should maintain your current height possibly 1/4-1/2 more in the rear. But the ride quality will be better.
