Hey all,
Im fairly new to the 4wd community and thought I could trust a "supposed" professional who owned their own shop. I recently purchased an Xrox bar and a winch to go with it. I had fitted the bar then wanted to move on to a lft kit before i put on the winch. I asked the owner of the store for his advice on what strength coils I should get and after telling him what i had equiped, said that because I had the Xrox bar (being light) will only need light springs. I still wasnt sure about this but decided to go with his opinion anyway.
When I went to pick the kit up a week later while talking to him I just wanted to confirm with him the light springs would be fine. He said to me as long as you dont place a winch on the bar you will be right..... I looked at him and said I told you I have a winch.... He then went on to tell me about nylon cabling to replace the steel cable would be a good option. That was another $350!!!
The winch is around 40kgs so I am obviously going to lose lift when I mount it and I can already feel that the front end feels heavy when I go over bumps and such.
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this problem? will spacers work?
Cheers in advance for any help you can offer!
