ARB Summit Bumper and Warn Winch installed

[Glocker]

How much does that bumper lower the front? If any..

The day before we installed the bumper, we installed a 3.75" lift on my truck. After the bumper and winch was installed, I lost .25" of that.

Not much at all. Nice.

About 3/8" of level on the Fox 2.0. Adjusted them to account for it. That is with the Winch as well.

sure you either get the control box extension kit from your winch manufacturer or buy cable and lugs that you can build yourself You will need (on the Warn Evo 10s I installed) about 32" of cable for each of the three leads (Yellow, Blue, Green) from the control box to the

What guage wire did you use for the 32" length? I just ran into the same problem. Warn relocation kit is stupid expensive and back ordered.

2 Gauge... It was interesting and late in the evening, I ended up at Auto Zone looking for 2 gauge cable and ended up buying 2 gauge black battery cables and ends and it worked out great. The positive was long enough, barely, to make it to the battery.

Any advice on weight of the bumper and winch and spring/shock suggestions. Was thinking about fox 2.5 adjustables

I wouldn't worry about it. I only lost .25" of my Eibach lift with the bumper and winch installed.

So I just finished installing the ARB bumper and Warn VR Evo 10s winch. I have Fox 2.5's. It looks great. I had to leave the control box in-place and not relocate it due to the short cables. I'm fine with that because I'll just stick with the wireless controller. An extra benefit is that now I have extra real-estate up top for lighting instead of the control box being in the way.

you know the rules. Pics or it didn’t happen!

Think I may need to get a higher rated set of springs. Anyone know what to order? I have Fox 2.5 coilovers. Don't know what length to get. Can't even find the spring rate for the ones on there

Check out Stage 3's site. I was able to find that Eibach uses a 550 and OME uses a 605 (standard duty). Bumper looks GOOOOD!

I installed mine in probably the same manner you did, with the control box mounted on the winch in the cavity behind the bumper, in front of the intercooler. I ended up ordering a remote wire extension and then zip tied it just behind the access door in the front of the bumper. That way, I can either use the wired connection or I can use the wireless. Just in case!

It was $11 cheaper though when I ordered it.

That's a great suggestion. Didn't even know they made an extension. I'll have to get one.

I also got through (most) of installing the Summit bull bar yesterday. Need to finish it up next weekend and install the ARB skid plates but LOVING the look of it all so far.

That one recovery hook is expensive!
I have a very important question for you. How did you fit your Baja Designs Fog lights in there? Did you make a special bracket. The ARB fog lights suck. I have the Baja's but could not figure out how to mount them. Heeeelllpppp!
