Lifting the front of an 80 (2 Viewers)

[fluffybunnysui]

A friend of mine bought a 93 80 series. He is going to install a ARB front bumper and want to make sure that the front doesnt sag. He is going to install a 2" lift later down the road but for now wants to know what he can do to level out the front with the new bumper install.
Thanks

He can run spring spacers, most likely Metal-Tech I don't think the poly spacers will be enough. I am also local and have a set of brand new in the box J springs going cheap.

Has he put it on and noticed a sag? If not, you should tell him to install first, and see how much spacer he needs. They go from 1" to 2" metal spacers. Im pretty sure you were there they day we put those spring spacers on my 80 last spring. It's not too bad of a job.
