So I need some help with the best direction to take on my suspension. My current setup looks like this:

TF Leveling Kit with 33s
Stock Bumpers
ACE Rock Rails with Rubi Rails
Rancho 9000s (29/30) not installed yet

I am in the market for front and rear bumpers, rather close on pulling the trigger on a set. But before I do so, I want to make sure I set myself up with the proper suspension setup. When I bought the Ranchos I planned on picking up the TF 2.5" lift. Now I'm not sure what do. I'll be keeping the 33s since I have 3:21 gears. It'll be tough to run 35s with my current gears. This is what I'm currently thinking:

Go with the TF 2.5" lift and Rancho shocks. Add the bumpers and have zero issues with clearance for 33s. It'll be plenty of lift to help offset the heavier bumpers. But is it going to be too much clearance and look odd?

Do I go with the TF 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit? Add some bump stops to help ensure I do not damage the Ranchos (29/30). I want to keep the shocks of course. What else would I need to run this setup? And will this help support the weight of bumpers?

Do I keep my current setup? Add bump stops to give me clearance to run the Ranchos. But I'll be on stock springs which may not be the best option with heavier bumpers. Good chance of sagging after a short period of time.

What do you think is the best path to take? And whatever the best option is, did I miss anything on parts needed?

Thanks!

I would wait and see what the bumpers do. I doubt you are going to see that much sag as they would have to be around 400lbs each to compress the coils an inch.

 

So keep my current setup and pick up some bump stops? Need to make sure I can run the Rancho shocks since I have the 29/30 shocks already sitting at my house.

 

1" of sag out of the factory coils may be a little much but the added weight will definitely bring you down a little bit from where you sit now. A coil lift would be a nice addition to the bumpers only because depending on the coil you can gain some ride quality while all the while combating the added weight you put on.

It looks as if it'll be roughly 100lbs more when the new bumpers are added. Which size coil lift would be sufficient?

 

One of our 1.5" kits would be suited very well to what you are looking to achieve on a 4 door.
