    Default How much height will bumpers bring my Jeep down?

    If I install a 2.5" lift on a 2 door wrangler, how much would the jeep come down if I put a 104 lb bumper on the front and a 106 lb bumper on the rear? Would it bring it down very much?

    It depends on the lift and spring rates. You can always add spacers to level it

    It will definately bring it down some, just depends on which coils you put in. I would think with bumpers that are that heavy, maybe the OME HD coils would be a good choice. if you go cheap, they will sag. Are you adding a winch on top that 100 lb bumper?

    I have the same situation adding front and rear RR XHD bumpers. Yesterday I spoke to Teraflex and they said it would drop 1/2 inch once I add their 2 1/2 inch lift kit with coils.

    I was going to add a teraflex 2.5 budget boost lift. I wasn't adding a winch. How much total would it probably drop? 1"?

    Definitely wondering the same here. I have the teraflex leveling kit and 4 door rubicon springs (18f 59r) on my 2 door x. Thinking a stubby front will at least cut some weight.

    Thanks man. Would you recommend buying some new springs along with the BB? Then would I have a 2.5" lift probably?
