Wow

That bumper looks great. I was thinking of waiting to see what Rock lizards bumper looked like, but these pictures are making me lean towards Atthehelm's bumper. It's just missing the stinger/winch protector.

Done. I need to check fitment and clearance on a winch bumper though.

Mine is welded on but I was thinking of making them a bolt on option.

Torqued everything down on the ground. No noises or anything over bumps

When are you getting your rear bumper???

and you got to black out your blinkers like I did since you already blacked out everything else.

The rear bumper will be after I get a higher/heavier duty suspension. Right now I think if I try to put that 100lbs rear bumper on there it'll sag right away. And....now I have something to do for the weekend. :JEEPIN:

Should be good unless you have the low duty rear springs.... I have OME HD up front and MED duty rears should be okay sir.

How bad is it that I don't even remember what rear springs I got...

I dont think its too bad

but we put on AtTheHelm's rear bumper on my stock Libby and it barely sagged at all, the custom sub box that I made for in the back ways more than this bumper.

So your Libby shouldn't even feel it back there.

Bad bow ride ? This thing rides so smooth man rather impressive if I do say so myself

Gonna try to lift it another 2 inches. Just ordered JBA 4" rear springs, .5" clevis spacer to add to the 1/4" clevis spacer I have on there now, and also a 1/4" top plates that I already have.

So your
Adding another 1/4" top plat to front
- .5 spacer
- rear 4" springs

Hmmmm how much more height is it supposed to give you ?

So how does that add 2 inches in front

Think you'll run into some issues with spring/UCA contact unless you're sitting really low now for some reason
also rear will be quite a bit higher

Arctic_Libby · **Posted:** Sun May 19, 2013 8:09 pm

I could be completely wrong on all of this but this is going off what my buddy told me. On JBA's website it says their .5" clevis spacers will add an inch. So the .25" plus .5" clevis spacers and a .25" top plate will bring me close to two inches higher in front. Then the 4" springs in back.

Correct me if I'm wrong and please do before I throw all this on and realize it won't work.

At The Helm · **Posted:** Sun May 19, 2013 10:59 pm

If you're using the top plate plate I gave you then you'll get about 3/4" of lift out of it because its 3/8" thick.
