pics with front bumper / no lift

[seymore]

looking for some front protection but not quite ready for a lift. anyone have any pics of the shockworks (or similar) front with no lift? I've already decided the ARB is way too large for my liking but I'm considering a one hoop or no hoop shockworks. a little worried even the shockworks will look funny on a stock height truck but some pics may change my mind. fwiw, tires are currently stock sized duratracs. thanks in advance!

There's a guy with a limited that is running a SW bumper with no lift, and I think the stock wheel/tire combo. Search around he's posted pics.

I saved some pics from that thread. Here's a good shot:

^^ That looks surprisingly better than I imagined.

from what I recall being told by SW on a call, between the parts you are adding and the parts your are removing with the SW bumper install, I think there is around 60lb difference. So having the SW with stock suspension is like driving around with a 10 year old kid on your current bumper... shouldn't make much difference.

No lift with stock tires

Front height is 34 inches from top of wheel well to ground (took measurements from sisters truck that has everything stock with SW bumper, she has a 2011 SR5)

No lift with 285/70/17 duratracs

Front height is 35 inches from top of wheel well to ground

And what Okki said is true.

Based on your history here I believe you, but it's still hard to believe. :hello:
