Fitting a Winch Bumper?

Colin 009:
When fitting a Winch Bumper how do you work out what springs/dampers to fit?

Lifted or Heavey Duty.?

Want to lift by an inch anyway.

This is what I'm hoping to Fit

J B:
are you gonna fit a winch aswell ??

if so then get the heaviest rating you can get,

have a look on the paddocks site, they detail different springs for different jobs

i got the higher rated ones, before i fitted the winch and bumper to mine the ride was pretty harsh, but since eith the extra weight up front the rides rather nice, and with a good lift aswell, around the 1 1/2 mark 8)

Colin 009:
Thanks J.B.  will be fitting a winch not sure which one yet, will check out paddocks tomorrow.

The way i did mine was, calculate the weight of the bumper, winch and cable. measure the existing height (any fixed point), load the front with weight (bags cement/sand), measure new front height, get springs to bring it back to original height and then add some for the new raised height required :lol:

Bulli:
If you speak to Scorpion(i dont know anyone else that has them on the shelf) they can give you the right spring weight straight away. The progressive springs give a far better ride than some of the alternatives.
