So I'm wrestling around with the idea of getting a new front and rear bumper. Full length for the front, wondering if I should drop a 1's Body lift to compensate for the weight of the bumpers since I'm going to loose an inch probably on the lift I have now from the weight of them.

Viper, Rather a 3/4" coil spacer than a body lift. Not a fan of a body lift one bit.

Brendan, great job, definitely looks good!

Seth,

Idler Pulley: 04891720AA

Pick and choose from that list. You know how I wheel, why I have a bunch of parts plus the ones I've seen fail on a whim.

Thats what my lift is right now, I have a 3/4 set up, but I heard when weight is added the coils compress thus losing ride height?

The spring compresses, but with an added spacer, it takes up the compression and levels it off.

TF makes a 1.5" puck I believe if you're not interested in getting a complete lift kit.

Edit: sorry, thought you meant a 3/4" setup. You have a 3" BDS lift, add a 3/4" spacer up front and call it a day. Being higher on the rear will give you hot-rod rake, being a tad higher up front levels it off.

I do have a BDS 3' inch lift. But when I was putting the lift on, I changed it to a 3/4 set up. I have a rake right now.

So you wanted positive rake to begin with. If that's the case, since you're going front and rear bumpers, leave it as is and your drop will be somewhat the same front and rear while HOPEFULLY maintaining your positive rake that you wanted.

By 3/4, do you mean you have the factory 3" BDS spring up front and a 3" BDS spring on the rear with a 1" coil spacer on the rear?
