    Probably not, mine went from 480 to 510, with no bar or winch.

    G'day
    I'm about to fit an ARB winch bar to my D2.
    Will simply swapping out the springs up front be okay?
    Or is it better to wait a bit, and get all new shocks and springs in the one hit?
    Cheers

    Just fitted the dobinsons C51-032 coils measures 515mm from 470mm, so Ive gained 45mm lift. (like having a 50mm lift without actually fitting one)
    What a difference its made to the ride, smoother, better cornering and braking. Thanks

    If your going to fit springs to suit the new bar with no lift all is back to where it is now.
    Idealy you would change the 4 shockers at the same time.
    However there is no need to fit shockers if $$$ are tight.
    Change the shockers when you can, you will notice a ride improvment when you do.
    Cheers, Kyle

    Would the suspension stuff 20mm kit be a good option for that?
    I mean, its pretty well priced so i figure if i can afford to do it, may as well
