So Im already running the RC 2.5" coil lift with their Dual stabilizers!! I can honestly say I love the lift. Rides just as good as stock, Flex is better than I expected, and just an all and all good lift. No problems once so ever.

Now I am ordering an AEV or ARB front bumper within the next 2 weeks. I know it might make the front sag a bit. So I am thinking of adding 3/4" spacers front and rear. Im not going to have a winch on till probably next march. I also dont mind if the rear is a tad higher. I like the look for some reason. Also want to throw 35s on soon. and dont want to loose too much clearance.

Now I know the exhaust issue. but is there anything I need to get to make sure i have no problems? I read the 2012 needs a few things done when lifted 3.5" or higher. and with the spacers Ill be around 3.25" or so.

Thanks

I would suggest a body lift instead. Give you the height to offset the weight without getting into the exhaust and driveshaft clearance issues that come with 3" or more suspension lift.

 

I did a 2.5 coil lift recently. The new springs didn't even blink at the weight of my sweathog of a front bumper and winch. I'd say put the bumper on first and then decide if you need any more height.
