Hi, been lurking for awhile soaking up all this good knowledge. From the Jeep world but have never lifted IFS so am learning. Considered the Rancho 3" suspension lift because I have the 9000 shocks on my Jeep and my ride is great. From my Jeep I've learned that picking quality components can keep or exceed factory rides. Ended up grabbing a set of Bilstein 5100s and the Rancho UCAs. Anyhow sorry for the long entro. I have not seen any discussions with aftermarket bumpers with lifts. I have a RC rear bumper with a RC high clearance front bumper with skid on the way. How much difference would the added weight affect the lift? My rake with the aftermarket rear bumper stands around 1 1/2", measured 36 1/2 to top of fender opening to ground on front and 38 at rear, did not check it with the stock bumper so I may have lost some. I want to run 295s and have installed some aftermarket 20 x 9 rims with 0 offset. Rancho says to not run their UCAs with less than 2" off lift. I tow a light boat and a small 5x9 work trailer and plan on installing tuftruck or Bilsteins rear progressive springs. I can actually get the Bilsteins cheaper but don't know if they will sag more than the tuftrucks under load. I don't care much for squat. Thanks in advance for any tidbits of advice you may have. should I be looking at longer links all the way around to keep the swaybars level? Rear track bar mount?
