Mounted ARB-Spacer Opinion Needed
Well I finally got some pics up of my ARB. I really like the look. I will have Cornfed Spacers in my hand this week. My question to all of you is : Does my truck look low in the front? I think that after I pulled off my Manik grill-guard, Jaos Skidplate and stock bumper, the truck sits more level with just the ARB. Remember, there is no winch in there yet. I love the ride of my OME and am just wondering if I should install the spacers now or just wait until the springs sag or I get a winch. Which everone comes first. If the consensus is that the front is too low and that I should level the truck out now, then I would probably do it. Thanks for the feedback.

Bumper be looking good
Your links to the next 3 pics though have this appended to them:

You might want to edit the post and take that out of the links.
It looks just a tad lower in the front.
I am not up on the spacers that much, but if I remember right, the spacers should only be used with the stock coils, and not aftermarket ones.
The ideal setup of course would be a set of SAW coil overs up front, but that is pretty pricy, almost as much as the bumper.
The bumper looks killer on there though.
But if you add a winch, then it will sit lower, as that adds about 80 lb.

go flex them out
I would take it on the trails first. My front OME settled quite a bit after a weekend of wheeling. Plus, you're not saving yourself any work by doing it now as opposed to later... I say wait until you've got everything on. The other advantage to this is you won't be too high in front. It's ok to be lower, but too much lift can lead to problems.
