Old Man Emu Heavy Suspension Question

[proudtxpirate]

Howdy everyone. I recently acquired an Old Man Emu Heavy Suspension kit recently. I understand the front springs are designed to be used with the Summit bumper with a winch which I plan on purchasing both later on down the road. If I install the kit without the bumper will the front of my Ranger ride with a nose up angle? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't believe it will be 'nose up', what I believe will happen is that the ride will be really rough.

Hell, it'll be tilted so far up that it may flip over

Actually I just ordered heavier duty springs to accommodate for the ARB bumper and winch. I have the Fox 2.5's. I f end up swapping suspension at some point I am leaning towards the Old Man Emu setup as it's really the only option made for added weight

Smart money is on it sitting nose high

With Australian requirements, the height usually doesn’t change much (loaded vs. unloaded). Heavier springs support the weight at the height without compressing. I still get it just rides rough. You could call arb (the op) to ask.
