Steel bumper and winch with AHC suspension.

[1meancruiser]

I'm looking at the TJM T13 outback front steel bumper and superwinch for my 2006 LC.

The combination is about 180 pounds. I'm posting to find out if anybody else is running this combination and if it creates any complications for the AHC suspension? I'm also running sliders and roof rack for a combination of about 300 additional pounds.

I figured I'd crank up the torsion bars all the way and add another 30 mm spacer in the back, I already have one set of 30 mm spacers on the rear springs.

Any input is appreciated.

I'm running a FR slimline, ARB Sahara, and a Engo E12000 without any issues (knock on wood) on my AHC. Sliders are next, but I'll just crank the T-bars to get back to spec.

That's what I'm thinking, whatever what you had you could just compensate with the torsion bars and spacers in the rear. Are you running spacers in the rear? Do you have problems when you run off road and Hi mode?

No spacers, no problems (again, knock on wood)...

Curious, how do you like the engo winch? Is it cable or synthetic rope?
