98 4runner OME 881's up F & R 890's: off road worthy?

So long story short, I lifted my '98 4runner using the OME 881's up front, and 890's in the rear. It always looked a bit like a stink bug, and I knew I needed to do something about it. Well I got trigger happy and ahead of myself and added an ARB bumper and WARN M8000, now it really looks like a stink bug. I am thinking I will upgrade to the 882's(883's?) soon, but in the mean time, I have a question. Has any one taken a 4runner off-roading in a condition like this? It doesn't rub, but could given the right bump/rock/flex/etc. Any advice on taking it out? Not looking to go crazy, but definitely more than just a smooth dirt road. Any thoughts, head-ups, concerns, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Give'r. But seriously, just drive slower, and if you can feel the suspension hitting the bump stops, slow down some more

And if you have that stuff in the front, you want the 883's no questions asked.

you'll be fine.. I have the 881/890 set up and many of us do.

The extra weight up front is going to cause your front end to be lower than you may like but crawling slowly you will never know the difference. All bets are off however if you like to bomb up and down the trail- then yes you will likely scrape up your front skids or more.
