Here's another picture of the rig and bumper. Joe, I don't blame your feelings on the bumper. It was a hard decision, whether I should go with Slee or ARB.

I decided to go with slee more for convienence than anything else. Place one big order for a bunch of stuff saved me on shipping and I knew his bumper would be easier for me to load up, carry home and install. I also had full confidence that it would be a good strong design for winching.

I worry about not having the full frontal coverage than I could get with an ARB, like when I'm out on some remote road and hit a deer or something. But I like the lightweight design, and much better approach angle.

Now that I've figure out a way to mount a full size hi-lift, plus a couple of lights, I'm pretty happy with it.

As far as the OME lift, I don't have the OME shocks yet unfortunately. I really agonized about whether to do the 2.5" springs, or OME low springs.

In the end, I think either set up would have worked fine, but the more weight you add, the less the stock or OME low lift springs can handle. I still have almost 100lbs of winch to add up front and probably another 300+ of gear and maybe more with a auxilery fuel tank and a lot more with a rear bumper and with that kind of wieght, you really do need something like a 2.5" heavy spring or more.

Even without the castor correction, I was extremely surprised at how it handles and drives with the lift. Almost better stock. I'll be interested to see what happens with the castor correction and shocks installed.
