Springs to support ARB & winch w/minimal lift

[mckennar]

Anyone running 881's, ARB bumper and a winch? After settling, what was the net gain of the lift? How much sag after a few years?

TL;DR I have about 200lbs over stock going onto the front of the truck fore of the centerline of the front axle. I want support, control and a decent ride but not much lift over stock (1"-1.5")

Coil overs aren't in budget, and I'm not a huge fan of spacers.

I have 881 fronts with a shrock and winch. I have maybe 2.5" of lift because I got that tiny spacer thingy. Otherwise it's supposed to be about 2.5" lift without spacer and with bumper maybe 2. It doesn't sag it much. Do you have/plan to have skids? That'll affect it too.

I plan on skids but don't have them on hand to weigh in comparison to the stockers.

My calculations above are based on the actual weight of the bumper, winch, fairlead, high lift and misc that I have on my garage floor. I'm at 198lbs net when I subtract 28lbs for the front (stock) bumper.

According to arb/ome documentation the 881s are supposed to only do 1.25-1.5" of lift and support up to 240lbs over stock up front.

Thanks for your insight! How does it ride? How many miles do you have on the setup? What kind of struts are you running?

Rides alright. Little stiff not not bad. Have the 9004 or whatever OME shocks. Maybe 200 miles on setup and just went off roading today

Appreciate you taking the time to pass that Info along.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on some 881s tomorrow morning.

Thanks i am PMing them now! I like that they got you set up with skid plate spacers!

If anyone finds this in the future, the OME 881 springs with 3/16" thick RAT skids, 9500lb synthetic rope winch, ARB 3423020 bull bar, & an occasional hi lift jack sagged to roughly 1" of lift (from an initial 2.5") after ~18 months.

I initially wanted 1" - 1.5" over stock, so I'm satisfied, but I'm sure it'll piss other people off who might want 2.5" out of this setup.
