Be prepared for it to sit low at the front if it has bull bars etc fitted as they
are much heavier than a standard bumper

im hoping to have a bullbar soon ;) if all goes to plan. but yeah i new it would be much more weight on the front hence my orig question, as the car is my daily drive ive gone off the idea of a lift as it wouldnt really get any use.

just would like the car too be eye catching :) btw lol i loveeeeeee ya avatar pic

If its just a stronger bumper you should be fine...But if your going the whole hog like mine or a ARB style then its going to be Kin heavy..and your normal springs might take a bashing... :wink:  :wink:

I would hold off getting a bumper for now as soon be show season and the trade stands will be offering discounts.
I'm planning on getting a HD front bumper at driffield so should save myself about £50

Mine are not that heavy either ! :wink:
My winch version can be lifted one handed ! Still strong though. I will be delivering one at sodbury  so anyone interested can have a butchers.
I had an ARB on my 110 and your right heavy Is an understatement !!
