So I've been reading that the ARB Bull Bar needs HD springs. I'm kind of doubting that the lift came with HD springs, but can anyone tell me?

You bought a full Rustys spring lift? If so you have just a set of Rustys springs which are only rated at 310 lb, Go with OME Heavy Duty 400 lb and you will be good for whatever. They are great! This is the reason so many say do it right the first time , not preaching just saying.

Yea, you need the OME HD coils if you are going to get an ARB bumper.

Rustys springs are rustys springs.. Nothing special about them.

Going to upgrade to Rustys springs? Your sig says you already have them.. :?

Its best to get OME HD springs if you have the ARB bumper.

is the length going to be correct, though? I don't want to lose lift because the HD springs are shorter than the ones with the Rusty's lift.

Yea, they only make one length of the OME HD spring for the liberty.

Tommudd says he has the same amount of lift with his OME HD set-up as a rig with the rustys lift.

Ive had both the OME Medium duty springs and the Rustys front springs and I got 1" more lift with the Rustys springs. I guess the HD springs lift it 1" more than the Medium springs. :?
