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.

Carli
Thuren
Lorenz
Kore

Google the above names you will find the springs.

 

Do you know which of these brands is going to provide the smoother ride?

 

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..

 

Shocks do not affect ride height much at all....

 

I got longer springs... designed for the weight of my front bumper... from here....

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.
