Default Rescue Green w/Shrockworks Stubby/Powerplant/KC lights

I couldn't wait to get my new bumper, powerplant and KC lights installed...

The bumper was delivered on Fri afternoon and as soon as I got home from my son's baseball game I started the install...

It took me from 9:00pm til 1:00am...it took me longer to pull out the plastic screws on the factory bumper than it did to install the Shrockworks bumper...then installing the syn line on the powerplant was fun...especially because I was already beat...worked 16 hours before I tackled the install...anyway...

By the way...I am going to have to put in some coil spacers because the bump stop is resting on the BB spacer...it's a little bumpy of a ride right now...

Here are a couple pics of my improved rig...

That really looks great! Are those stainless steel d-rings? I am considering stainless steel ones for my bumper, but I'm not sure if they will attract thieves or not.

Yes they are...I didn't think about thieves taking my d-rings...but, I guess they could...

People are probably a little nicer in Oklahoma. Here SoCal, people will steal just about anything. I will probably go for the stainless steel d-rings anyway and take my chances.

How much droop did you get from the bumper and powerplant? I have the mid-width on order, but otherwise I'll have the same stuff sitting on the front end. I ordered 1/2" coil spacers per Northridge's Dave to compensate, and I'm hoping that's enough.

What's your address?? I really like that set up. I am going with the Power Plant too. You chose a much better option for a front bumper combo for it than I have! I am so disappointed that the winch will sit ON TOP of the Warn bumper.

I would say that it dropped 1-2"...but that's only with my calibrated eye, ha ha ha...there's another thread that suggests 2" coil spacers...Dave at Northridge is probably right though...he's been doing this a lot longer than I have...

To be safe and get things level again...I am going to go with a 2" coil spacer though...

We'll have to go wheelin' for you to get my address...ha ha ha

Thanks...that's one of the reasons I went with Shrockworks...plus I really like the stubby...

That's not exactly a warm and fuzzy. I'm going to measure it before and after and if 1/2" isn't enough I'll have to get some different spacers. A 2" drop would be crazy.
