Coilovers to support Bumper

[hgibby11]

I ordered a Pelfreybilt aluminum bumper that will weight 65lbs. Are adjustable toytec coilovers 0-3" good for anyone?

This is her now. Without bumper.

This is the bumper.

Not sure about the Toytec but I just added a 200 lbs. bumper with an 85 lbs. winch. I kept stock springs but put them on the Bilstein 5100 shocks. I'm very pleased with the ride.

Have you installed the bumper yet? Pics?
What's the link to the place to got the bumper from?

I need to take pictures. I actually just installed it two weeks ago. I'll take some soon and post soon. Here is the link from Amazon. I ordered off of eBay because shipping to Alaska is ridiculous and I found someone who made me a deal.

I took these today. Not the best photos but at least you can see the bumper.

Looks good. I have body armor rear bumper and side steps.

Thanks. I've been happy with it so far.

I heard the functionality of body armor is Crap. What do you think now that you have it? I think it looks good.

The only problem I ran into was with the bolts and washers supplied with the bumper. Rust in a matter of days. Nothing a can of epoxy spray paint can't take care of. Lol. I find that the tailgaters don't get as close now.

Well I've only had it on for a few weeks now but it came with a decent coat of paint so far. We will see what an Alaskan winter does to it next winter.

The only real issue I noticed is when I put it on the truck, the winch mount is adjustable but where the bumper mounts, it is not adjustable. I needed to shift it all about a half an inch but there wasn't a way to. However, it's not a show truck and you can't really tell when you step back from it.

I tried out the winch for the first time yesterday and the bumper had no issues. It pushed over a lot of brush with no problems at all.

Ok can it take a telephone poll down like my Ironman did?

Ha ha ha. Hopefully I don't find out if it can.
