?? Bull Bar - Winch w/ Stock XREAS Suspension
Question:
Does anyone have an ARB or Shrockworks bumper with winch and stock XREAS suspension?
I want to know if ride is much more harsh due to added weight on front end. Is it so bad that a suspension upgrade is a must?
I have a 1.25" leveling kit, XREAS, and OE tire size. I want to add a Shrockworks Bumper and winch but don't want to have to replace my suspension system as well just to handle the added weight up front.
I saw that Lance's website indicated that a suspension upgrade is likely needed if a bumper/winch is added. Jim at Shrockworks claims that front end will drop about 1/4"-1/2" with OE suspension and bumper only. Will drop about 1/2"-3/4" with OE suspension and bumper and winch.
In place of a new shock and coil or coilover system up front, can I get away with only replacing coils over XREAS shocks? I am looking for keeping stock ride and level lift height but want to add bumper/winch. I hate to have to totally abandon the XREAS system just to upgrade suspension to be able to add a bumper/winch. Seems upgrading can spiral out of control.
Any advice or links to threads addressing this would be greatly appreciated. No luck researching threads for this precise of a topic.
