ome medium before/after plus a few aftermath questions (1 Viewer)

Looks great Simon. Nice job. It looks like you also have an ARB. Can't tell if you have a winch, planning on adding one?

Nakman showed me how he added spacers on his medium springs to raise the front. He rented something to compress the spring, added the spacer and it was done. Since I added the ARB, the front is sagging a bit. I personally don't mind the raking (Rear higher) but when I add a winch it may become a problem (less clearance). Tim (Nakman) suggested adding the spacers rather than going to the High lift springs. Don't know if that makes sense rather than change the springs out

Ken, no winch at the moment. If it happens it will come after sliders and maybe a set of larger tires on separate rims for offroad which would also include some rear bumper mods for a tire carrier.

If I add a winch I would definitely change front springs to the heavies. If you add a spacer you still have an overloaded spring which is going to affect handling.

Ken, the Mr. Gaskets were my recommendation because they're so darn cheap. And yes I continue to be in the minority and like to use the strut spring compressors when doing spring swaps.. free rental at Autozone. Just jack up the axle, put the compressor on, lower the axle, slide in the spacer. Leave the shock bolts alone.. the better solution is to probably upgrade from the 850's, we'll get a good taste of the 850 + Mr. G next week with the arb & winch, will be the first time wheeling with all that weight up there.

edit: sorry, where are my manners..
