2025 Black Friday Deals

I just placed the same order, Krabby! I've been eyeing this for a while and figured there would be a good drop this month. Now the wait begins for some good winch BF sales.
 
@Krabby - do you know how difficult is to install the winch and the tray? Do you need new front springs once you install the winch?

It's my understanding that it's not too bad and I don't believe it requires any cutting. @anand has had the LFD tray on his so (as I have with just about everything I've done to my truck) he's a great reference. My intention is to upgrade my springs to compensate for the additional weight of the tray and probably of greater significance, the winch. I will not be using lift springs, but rather the appropriate IA factory springs.

IA? Which springs are these? And where can you order? Just added the GP winch and could use them I think

IA as in Ineos Automotive - ie factory parts. I’m going to get from dealer as I don’t want any warranty BS should I have drive shaft issues.
 
All TrailRax products are up to 50% off, including the TrailRax Modular Roof Rack for the Ineos Grenadier. Brand-new Ineos Grenadier racks — full and 3/4 size — are 40% off, while blemished full-size racks with minor scratches are 50% off.

So excuse my noobness but I’m guessing I need one of the lower ones but which one if you know? I added the GP factor winch.
Look at what front springs you have now. They will have colour (color!) markings as per the above chart. If you are adding more weight you should work out the change in weight (new weight minus old weight) and go up to the corresponding amount of spring weight rating in the chart.

Example:
My vehicle was ordered with no winch and the accessory roo bar. It was delivered with green circle front springs. Another owner's vehicle was delivered with the factory winch and roo bar and it came with red circle front springs which is a +53kg rating increase (1417kg to 1470kg).

If the factory made a +53kg rating change for their winch you could also go up one rating for an aftermarket winch, unless you intend on adding more weight later then plan ahead now and look further down the chart. You only want to do this exercise once.

There should be some discarded sets of factory springs around after owners have installed lift kits. You might need to ring around some of the bigger installers like maybe AO or Owl to see if they have anything in their scrap bins. @Krabby has been chasing some through the forum classifieds but has had no luck yet.

The pinnacle of factory springs is the purple fronts and black rears. That's the heaviest factory spring combination if you want to maximise your payload capacity (within GVWR) but avoid a heavy duty lift kit.
But if I'm being honest, whilst it still seems prudent to avoid a lift and not poke the bear on driveshaft issues, there is a growing list of driveshaft failures over stock suspension that it's becoming a moot point if a lift makes you significantly more likely to have a driveshaft failure. The remaining benefit of staying with factory springs and ride height is your warranty is unaffected. That still seems worthwhile for as long as a factory warranty remains current.

Hopefully that all makes sense!
