weight vs. lift
So I was thinking about what happens to your lift when you add the weight of your front bumpers, rear bumpers, roof rack with everything that goes in to that. Just wondering what kind of loss in lift every one has had.

With my cage bumpers and roof rack I don't think I lost much if any. I also cut weight were I could. And also run RC springs and leafs witch I think handle a load quite well.
