Suspension and bumper decisions

[eddie99]

I have a 1999 100 series that I bought from the original owner in 2006. It's been my everyday vehicle ever since with very little off road exposure. Its currently completely stock except for the running boards i removed. i have decided to get it "trail ready" and currently looking to buy the 1.5" Old Man medium load kit and the ARB Sahara w/hoop. I have a 9000lb warn that will also go in. I can't decide if I should go with the 2.5" medium and/or the ARB Deluxe bumper. I'm not modifying to mud ride but I live in south Mississippi on the river and we have a lot of it.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

go "big!" Unless you have a reason to keep it lower, go for the larger one. My $.02

I'm using 2.5 heavy and the truck looks well balanced and rides well

I'm torn on this as well, except I'm torn between 2.5" Heavy or Medium Load. So my suggestion for you is to go for the 2.5" lift, it's a difference of $25 that you won't regret!

lrowe_csp; that is a well-balanced looking truck. I like it.

Maybe eddie99 (OP) wouldn't mind if I semi-hijack his thread to ask you to put up more pics? I'm in same situation; trying to decide on mods and your Hundy has the look I like.

he posted some last week that I've been drooling over, I think they're in the stickied picture thread at the top of the board.

I run a slee 2.5 medium kit, 285/65/18s, with sliders and an iron man front bumper. Vehicle performs fine to me. It is soft but not to the point that i feel unsafe. Plan to go with a rear bumper in a few months and will prolly change out the coils for heavies.

not a big fan of the Sahara, looks too rancher cutie wifey, but that's just me.

Yeah, if eddie99 is ok with it and it helps him make some decisions, I will post up photos.
