aftermarket rear bumper with no lift?
 
i recently placed an order for a rear bumper that should be about 135 lbs added on.. problem is i'm not lifted at all. should i wait until im lifted before installing the bumper?

i've read through the lift thread but no one really talks about this, i probably modded things out of order (should have gotten a lift before the bumper).

Probably will sag quite a bit. Back when I did my rear bumper (eimkeith's) it's 115 pounds, sagged it. Then did the f150 tank mod and it was on the bump stops lol. Running ome 891's w/lc shocks now and it rides good. The springs just settled a bit to much for me.

Are you using the OEM coil isolators? If not, you should put those in along with some OME 10mm Trim Packers to re-gain some lost lift. Those 2 items should add about 1/2" of lift.

Or, you could also try this:

W73420 Whiteline Spring - pad bushing
– Whiteline USA - 20mm Spring Pad This is designed for the front of the LC80 series springs and works with the rear of the 3rd Gen 4Runners.

W73404 Whiteline Spring - pad bushing
– Whiteline USA - 30mm Spring Pad

Hope this helps.

Put 135lbs in the back of the cargo area and look at it (and even drive it around). That's what it would be like with the bumper installed. If you like it, go for it.

Yeah I'm still using the spring spacer/cone thing and I have 10mm spring pack installed. I ended up buying dobinsons C59-210V land cruiser coils instead. Just haven't installed them yet. Going to outboard the rear shocks still.

Get a body lift before committing to bumpers. Otherwise you turn a $150 mod into a $2000+ mod.
Biggest regret I have... next to not buying something solid axle :target:
