So I've lost about 1.5" of my rocky road 2.5 lift with my ARB bumper, or so it seems. Anyone know of any affordable ways to get it back up? Is there a cheap spacer or something that will do the trick? I[m sure removing the winch would work to get back whats lost, but that's not an option :-)

thanks,

Dan

There is only 2 ways to effectively gain back the lost lift after installing a ARB/winch-------1.Get OME HD front springs---2.Replace the front coils with stock CRD front coils since the RR lift is a spacer lift in the front.

Doing a clevis lift will only give a very temp fix and it'll sag again soon.

Exactly, this is why I ordered my OME927's Friday night....
Wish I had spent the extra on these springs and the rear Ranchos in the first place so I didnt have to build the lift twice

I've got OME 927 springs, and OME NS-131 struts. These were installed to bring up the front, but it still sags. Not like its bottoming out, but you can tell the rear is higher than the front.

You could try adding a 1/2" clevis lift to boost it an inch and see how that works out.
