Aftermarket bumpers and front end lift height

canadianwheeler · Sep 19, 2005

Sorry guys this might sound stupid but i need to ask.

I have a after market bumper on my 92 xj (no pics). Its pretty simple double tube bumper with a loop. I am doing a RE 4.5 " lift next week. I was woundering how much my front will sit after the lift. Should a add another spring isolater or 1 inch spacer to even it out?

Talking about because of the weight??

No. I don't think a bumper even with a full-winch would sag...

Ya the weight issue. I dont wanna do the lift then need to take the coils out again to level out the front/rear.

An aftermarket bumper and winch will definitely make your front end sag.

you better be in moab you little punk.

Back to the Topic. with a double tube bumper you prob. wont get that much sag. I have a heavy ass home brew bumper and 8k winch and only got 1/2" or so sag.

Ditto...I put about 200 lbs on the front (Hanson bumper and a Warn 8274), and lost just about 1/2" in front on a stock suspension.
