Maybe now I can finally upgrade to a coil lift to support the ARB and winch.

All J's will be testing them on a heavy gaser, can't wait for the final verdict to come out.

I'm going to get them when their available.
If you followed OzLtd's post's - I think the 500 lb/in will support the CRD with ARB and winch - he calculated 465 vs a stock 410. However - remember his other comments - someone in his group had gone to the 17mm spring wire - and had interference issues (upper ball joint to spring)at flex with the sway bar off - they ended up leaving the sway bar on to reduce wheel travel.
I think that's a worthwhile tradeoff, I have an ARB, I'm going to get a winch and I do more trails than rock crawling.
Just be aware that there are side effects

I got this info from Heather's post in the CRD section. She didn't mention when, just that they would be testing on a heavy gasser, which I assume meant, one with an ARB/winch set up and full armor. Will have to keep checking the CRD posts for an update, unless she posts it over here.
