Just wanted to ask the crowd what would happen in this case. I've got another thread describing why my lift isn't installed yet, but I want to make this weekend productive still.

Can I install my ARB bumper without having my 04 KJ lifted? I'll install the lift within a week and a half if I dont get the missing parts this weekend. I'm just worried about sagging, driving issues, alignment issues with having the bumper and no lift.

So please let me know if my KJ can handle the bumper for a week or so before the lift is installed. Thanks.

I would think that you would be fine for that week or so! Just installed your ARB at the time you do your lift if ya want to!

Installing everything at once was my original plan. It's just that now I've had everything except the rear shocks sitting in my buddies garage for a month+.

I just want to get working on it and make this weekend productive.

Understand that the ARB adds ~80lbs on the front and the leverage on the springs makes it sag like it's heavier - so expect to be nose down until you get the lift installed
( it'll drive okay - just look funny)

You're OK for a week or so as long as no cross country trips.
OR Just do it all in one day and then when you pull it back out of the garage
WOW what a difference
