I'm considering buying the front OME 881's w/ the firm shocks for my Taco & have 2 quick questions.

1) Has anyone only done the front OME springs & shocks to level up their ride after installing an ARB w/ winch & left the rear stock?

2) Has anyone used the 882's w/o the use of the diff drop spacers?

My reason for the 2nd question is that I am thinking the weight of the ARB w/ my winch (200+lbs) would off set the need for the spacers.
