I am considering going to the 675V or the 677V to get back some of my rake, ditch my airbags, and still have a comfortable ride (hence the "V" - variable rate springs). Have you considered going with those instead of the 329s?
I ordered the 329's over the weekend after looking at a buddy's truck who runs about 150lbs less in the rear than me and has them (with a different rear bumper). I miss the rake... My only reason for not going with the long travel springs is that it would involve replacing the rear shocks as well, and at that point for proper long travel I "need" to replace all the rear arms, and brake lines, and at that point should probably do the PCK... I'm still contemplating the switch, but a bit more than I want to bite off at the moment.

FWIW, on 255/80's the tip of my hi-lift (highest point on the truck) is currently around 6'10"... We're moving next month to a house with (finally) a larger garage (our current garage was built for a Mini or Smart Car), but I'm not positive on height. I figure I'll gain at least another inch or so back with the new springs so I may continue the driveway-parking and had already written off most parking garages (the awning was my previous highest point)

Got my bars and fairing from LFD... not a single screw found in the package. Don’t they come with mounting hardware...?

I have been looking around at slider options and I am sorry if this has been asked already but approximately how much do the .120 DOM angled sliders weigh? Also, what is the angle of these?

Stainless Crossbar Noise without Wind Fairing

If you are considering number of cross bars and/or a wind fairing - this might help.

Had 2 stainless crossbars positioned between the low noise OEM marks on the rails.
Was able to mount hi-lift, shovel and 4 recovery boards (2 Xbull stacks side by side).
Noise was noticeable, but easy to ignore.
Above 70 got a little worse, but not bad.
No need for a wind fairing.

Moved the 2 bars all the way back and noise wasn't much different.

Added 3rd bar all the way forward and now the noise is annoying.
Don't really need the 3rd bar for 4x4 gear, but I wanted it to spread the bars out for Lowe's runs.
I could have just moved the two around as needed and saved money, but I already bought the third, so now I think i need a wind fairing.
Plus, moving them around isn't hard, but it is time consuming - they aren't quick-release and slide.
And they have to be just right so all the bolts and brackets line up for the gear on top.

To add on the above comment..

I have 3 bars and the fairing and in head on wind they are nearly silent, cross wind not so much. (But that is expected)

Yep, a bar in the forward position hits a little more air, and can get noisier. Send me a PM, we can chat about the setup if you want

We honestly haven't weighted a set yet... They keep getting picked up as soon as we finish a set and we keep forgetting to weigh a pair when they are completed.

Standard angle is about 20 degrees, we've also done 10 degree.

SR5 with LFD Hybrid Bumper

Installed the hybrid bumper - love it.
Little scarier with the SR5 since the "template" is the bumper valance that we don't have on a SR5.
I ended up cutting a little too much.
The bumper cover curves out over the bottom of the grill and I cut so much that the grill actually pokes out a bit.
I used some edge trim you can't tell unless you get close and really look.
If you have an SR5 - think about how that grill extends behind the bumper cover before you cut... I'm thinking about 1.5" down from the grill is about right.

Looks great!

What would you say is the added weight with the bumper and winch?

LFD Hybrid Bumper

Engo SR10 - Synthetic 10000lb Winch weighs 60 pounds.
LFD Hybrid Bumper weighs 83.2 lbs.
Stock Bumper I removed weighed 24.4 pounds.
Center of mass of new gear is a bit forward of stock bumper so 60 + 83.2 - 24.4 = 118.8 isn't exactly right, but close.

I still have stock suspension and I think the front went down about 1/2 inch... hard to tell with various measurements.
Front skid plate seems to show it most.
