OME HD Primary Solution for Heavy Front?

Doing some advanced planning for a bumper + winch. The 5100's have been working out fine with stock coils thus far and I have searched. There is alot of good info... but not much about when we are dealing with the extra weight of steel bumpers, winches, and other accessories on the front end.

Right now, the best solution I can find is going to be 2887's on the front. I am curious if there are any other options to keep the truck level and handling good with that much added weight. We are talking 300+ Lbs' additional.

Would love some real world experience and suggestions from the people doing this....

It would also be great if I didn't have to scrap my 5100's with less than 2K miles. Everything I have read suggests I can't easily run 2887 with 5100's.

I guess I may have a complete, low mileage, set ready to install for someone if that is the case.

I put the OME 2887s and OME shocks on when I put my ARB bumper and Warn winch on. Works great both on and off road. I also put heavy duty OME springs on back, very stiff but perfect with my Hitchgate tire carrier. No more droopy butt or bottoming out. Had some Billstein 5100s, so using them on back with OME coils.

I'm more impressed with your tires.
