I have since sold my 80 Series, but I have some thoughts to add to the continuing conversation here. If I'd made this bumper myself, after taking some fabricating classes or something, I feel like this community would be championing my accomplishment. The comments would be more like "Those welds...
Can you elaborate on the benefits of the Dobinsons UCAs? How do they compare to the other UCAs available on the market? What makes one “better” than another?
Hey @Kyle Fogle
Looks like it’s been about three months since an update. How have these been performing? I was thinking about waiting for the OME BP51s but this Dobinsons kit looks like a good compromise in price vs performance. I think I also heard that Dobinsons is coming out with a UCA for...
@Bwhnter I had all my work done by a guy named Bobby Moran at The Cruiser Company in Little Rock. In Memphis there are a couple people who work on Cruisers, but I can’t recall any names off the top of my head. There’s a small but active Facebook group called Bluff City Cruisers. I’d ask there...

OME lift with 850/863 springs
ARB front bumper
SoFlo rear bumper with dual swing outs

I haven't talked to the seller since our initial conversation a couple weeks ago. I just started a new job and I haven't had time to fool with it. That being said, I'm going to get in touch with him and get him to send me that spindle hardware.
For anyone on the fence, my initial impression...
I don't think so, but I'll take a look today and see if I can post pictures. I think you'd have to measure the space and install a spacer before you put the bumper on. I was kinda thinking about just cutting the bumper and installing a hitch right to the crossmember, kinda like on the back of a...
Regarding the above review...
I had a friend who does a little part-time fabricating out of his shop take a look at the bumper and the welds. He confirmed that the welds are really sloppy, but he wasn't concerned about any of them failing. I asked if it would be worth cleaning them up and he...
