Not sure if youve seen this but could be a good reference point for you in your such

I dont think the XRC gen 3 was out when I got mine but I looked at the X2O line because they came with the synthetic line, wireless remote and I believe had better waterproof rating. My buddy has a XRC gen 2 though, I think, and its a good winch.

If I remember correctly some Warn winches are now made in China, the VR ones, so make sure you check the origin of the one you're looking at. I like Smittybilt. I have a Smittybilt X20 gen 2 10k winch that was made in China. Ive used it quite a bit and its worked fantastic. Ive pulled my 6600lb...

This what I did as well just made some little cuts in one of the plates so they mesh well. I cant remember which but other than that no issues fiting the ASFIR with the ARB plate.

@BurnsCrew Got some specs from CrikyMike with Dobinson. I went with the A685 shocks, they are only 40mm longer extended but 20mm longer compressed. Is that going to be an issue or should I Just get the 4" shocks? It seems like the 4" ones are more tested/proved to be compatible setup...

Right. If I remember correctly those Dobinsons springs you run are very tall.

Great point. I didnt notice but from the specs Ive seen the difference between those 2 shocks are 54mm so a tad over 2". What would that mean? That it would that much more droop and could potential cause some issues with lines? Probably best to stick with the 4" shocks and relocate the brackets...

Another member on here was looking at the MRA59-A685 shocks which are the 6" lift shocks for the 80 series. In talking with Burns it would seem that if you run the 6" shocks you wouldnt need to relocate the shock mount or run AHC spacers. I tried reaching out to the other member to see if he had...

Thanks for the visual Lee.

Hey Patch whats the purpose of running the AHC spacer with the 80 series shock? I just ordered some 80 series rear shocks do I need the spacers to take full advantage?

Also curious. Friend of mine has an Isuzu Trooper and is thinking about getting them for his rig. He says the Trooper guys have been running these for about 10 years

Yes everything is still stock. I wrote that down somewhere but don't remember. It was within the acceptable range though. Like 11 or so? It was healthy

You can but in terms of carrying the add weight its not needed. Since I've owned my truck I've replaced the sway bar end links with extended ones and they came with new bushings. At the same time I replaced the sway bar bushings that are on the frame. I just replaced my AHC shock bushings at...

No you dont have to add anything. You could flush your AHC fluid if it hasnt been done. Once you install the bumper check your AHC pressures with techstream. They will likely be elevated and you'll need to adjust your torsion bars to bring the pressures back down.

Seems like your questions have been answered but I have ARB deluxe bumper with 10k winch, Metaltech sliders, Asfir skids, Prinsu roof rack, and ValleyTech rear bumper with dual swing outs, rotopax and a 34" MT spare currently my truck weighs 6600lb. I'm still on AHC and I wheel regularly. I...
