| Post subject: | front bumper weight |
I am looking to upgrade my bumper and greatly appriciate the sticky with all the pictures. I am not set on what to buy. But am wondering how much front end sag the Lib might get with an ARB. I currently have a OME lift and a hidden hitch with a warn 9000k . I left the winch on for a while and got some front end sag. Anyone got experience with this? thanks |

According to other posts I've read on here, unless you have the OME HD coils then you will definitely see some significant front end sag after installing a 100-pound ARB bumper. |

The Mediums are designed to handle the Bull bar ARB makes, at around 85 lbs. The HD's are specificly designed to handle a Bull Bar + Winch combination. The light duty springs are a waste of time, from what I hear. might as well be stock. |

I got the first All J OME kits early this year. they said heavy duty so I assume that is what I have. I am just wondering if anone else has seen any front sag after instalation ( not just due to normal setteling)? I really want to upgrade to the ARB to keep my winch on full time. i am also going to replace the cable with a syn cord. |

I've got "pre" softride SkyJacker coils and after 45,000 miles(many abusive offroad miles) only 1/4" of sag,I have the front ARB bumber with WARN 9500XP winch(with synthetic rope). |

tj where did you get the skyjacker coils from? I was looking into ditching the rustys coils for something a bit harder and stronger; that is if jeepin by al doenst get the 6 ' out before then. |

Can't get them anymore unless you find them used,they stopped making them after about 1 year of making the 2 1/2" coil lift,which netted me almost 3.75" of lift.You can get the softride coils(they are supplied in the SkyJacker lifts now) but they are the same as the Rusty coils.
