It's inevitable that I will get a rear bumper with tire carrier. I'm waiting on Dissent to get things rolling since there is interest for the GX470. I'm wondering what springs you rear LT guys are using with swing out tire carrier bumpers. Will Dobinsons 675s be enough to keep it level or will I have to go with the 677s?

My front setup is utilizing the 314 springs and is getting me about 1.5-1.75" of lift with my bumper and winch I'm guessing. The rear is the 325 springs with a 10mm trim packer. Current standard load is a basic rear cargo platform and ARB fridge.

I'll probably buy the rear LT components and take advantage of any black friday deals before I get the rear bumper.

I have the Dobinson 675V rear variable rate springs and they are barely level with 4 passengers and medium load in the back. No rear bumper for me. No 3rd row. No weight on roof. So, I’m gonna say you will need at Least 677Vs for a rear bumper, tire, and some load
