Front replacement $$ suspension questions
I ordered the tough country evolution series front replacement bumper today and it's only supposed to weight like 190-225 depending on winch. I don't want my truck to be leaning right now it sits level with the stock on it. Any stiffer shocks, larger coil springs or something I can add to keep it leveled off?Also I wanted to get an opinion on if I should put it on black or get it powdercoated the same color as my truck? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I guess same color as the truck would make sense, but iam still lost on suspension Q. Would double shocks help at all or do I need stiffer springs

I'm not sure but I think it's Carli suspension that offers a heavyer spring for after market bumpers.

My buddy runs a 6" superlift with triple shocks in front and a full replacement ranch hand and it sags a bit, not as bad as it did with the single shocks..
I also ran a 6" superlift with single bilstins and just the engine alone made it sag ha, i went to triple bilstins and the sag went away.. It tore up my suspension tho and my driveshafts tho so i went with a Carli kit..

Nice people and they make any length you want for $200-250.00
Going same color as your truck depends...... on the truck color. Some look great, IMO, but some will never match with powder coating. Painting would work better, I guess but sometimes I feel contrast is nicer than matching. JMO.
