6112's with added weight

[snuffleupagus]

Throwing on some Bilstein 6112s here soon...Only looking for ~2 in of lift in the front. Anyone have any experience with these and a moderate amount of extra load on the front end?

AGM Battery +35lbs
Air Comp\Mount +15 lbs
LoPro Bumper\Winch +130 lbs
Skids +100 lbs
Sliders +90 lbs

With all that the stock front end has a pretty significant amount of droop....enough that I'm not sure I'll hit 2in even with the 6112's topped out. I believe the spring that comes on the 6112 is a bit stouter at 600lbs, but I'm wondering about maybe swapping that with a King\Eibach 650lb coil.

Anybody running a similar setup that can provide their experience?

I have all of the added weight that you referenced and did not notice much of a droop when I added my C4 lopro bumper. I have the older 6112’s running on the 4th circlip and have about 2.25” of lift in the front.

Perfect, that's what I was lookin for! Thanks!

If it helps you or anyone else, I have 700lb springs and a 1/2" driver side top plate spacer and recently moved both sides down to the second clip for a softer ride. Bumper is 130+lbs. Feels great, lots of nose dive though but I don't mind. I was at #5 before and it was beginning to feel too harsh. Cant remember what stock height is but I'm at 21.75" hub to fender on driver and 22.25" on passenger with a full tank of gas.
