Deer problems... A newbie's first question.

[lunarsnowstorm]

I must say that the deer here in North Central P.A really love my 2011 TE. I have had more close calls in the last few months then I had in the last five years with my prior SUV. Time to drop some cash on an ARB deluxe bull bar. My question is at the same time I would like to level it out using the 5100 adjustable shocks. Will the weight of this bumper be to much for the shocks to handle, or should I think bigger and just go with a heavy duty lift. Don't want to drop more cash on a lift kit but will if I have to. Any thoughts ?

Are you really asking this group if you should go bigger? Good luck with your decision.

If you're going to put the ARB bar on I'd recommend going with a full OME suspension kit. THe weight with only the 5100's without springs to support the weight will not make the suspension better. Either way if you go with the 500's go with springs to support the weight.

You can select the right OME coils depending on the weight of the bumper to go along with your Bilsteins 5100 or OME 90000 shocks.
