Smittybilt XRC8 in 80 Series ARB Spacers?

[Francis J.]

After installing the ARB there is a noticable change in the waterline.
With the XRC8's additional weight more offset is needed.
The truck is used in Az. light off road - mine runs.
Not wanting to install a lift, can I install a front spring spacer to level it out?
Recommendations por favor.

Regards,
Frank

I installed Metaltech 1.5" spacers on both my 80's after adding winches.

For about the same price as the metal tech spacer you can add a set of OME861 springs which are the no lift replacements for 100-250lb extra weight. replacing the old springs will probably help the ride significantly

Thanks for your help!

OME springs shopping in progress!
The ride has certainly changed for the worse, since the bumper / winch installation.
Thanks again!

kbahus just took some 861's out. Maybe you should talk to him before he gets rid of 'em? Just an idea... Hopefully, he won't mind! Check out this thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/441436-another-hybrid-level-lift.html
