Rock Hard Rear Bumper / Swing-out
 
Anyone running this rear bumper/carrier combo? I got one for free and it's currently sitting on my garage floor... It is HEAVY!!! What I'm wondering is, how much sag did anyone experience after it was installed, and what springs are you running? I've got stock rear springs with a 3" AAL right now, but need a little more lift (about 1") to make it sit level BEFORE THE BUMPER. So, I'm assuming I'll need more than 1" to combat the sag. I know every setup is different yada yada yada, so I'm really just looking for some comparative info rather than a definative answer... TIA.

I am running that bumper and love it. I have Rusty's 6.5" springs and with the bumper/swing , 33" tire and a hi lift jack my jeep did sag a good inch

Good deal, thanks! I'm at 4.5" up front, and would prefer a level or even slightly nose-high stance rather than a factory rake, but what I've got now would likely end up being pretty excessive with an additional inch of sag... I've got shackle relocation brackets and extended rear shackles already, so I've got a good 2" built in already. I'm thinking maybe some honest 3" springs?
