Winch bumper and tbars

[silvrzuki77]

Hey guys i hould be picking a arb bumper real soon. Was wondering how the stock tbars do or should i start looking into heavier tbars like OME?Thanks

maybe alpha t bars will work?

I would mount your bumper 1st..and winch if you are going to run one. Than crank your tbars back to the desired ride height. see if you like the ride or not.

Anytime someone adds a winch bumper, they will loose some ride height and need to adjust them. I would also look into upgrading your shocks and bumstops as that extra weight will be noticed on the front.

On my 08H3Alpha I ran the stock tbars with bilsteins up front and extended bumpstops, tbar cranked to 23.25" from center of hub to bottom of fender. I thought the ride was good with that setup with the extra weight.

Sway away I think made some for a group buy thru Samco that Bebe setup, but that has been awhile back.
I had an 06 and now the Alpha and I could tell a difference in the tbars and it came with a supposedly different valved shock.
Maybe Ridgedemon could find you some Alpha bars.
I think it supports the front end better with my winch and brush guard than the the other one.
That ARB is some pounds hanging up there.
I'm working on an alternative for mine with less weight and better air flow.

I already have the bilsteins and bump stops up front, im going to run obviously first and see how it does just wanted some info. I think the OME torsion bars are like $330 not too expensive. Hunner anyway you can send me some spy shots of your bumper set up? Maybe Ill be your first customer.

I would look into the Old Man Emu bars from ARB as they are designed for use with heavy bull bars. The Sway A Way bars have been discounted and are no longer available. Your only other option I know of are the Alpha torsion bars.
