Greetings,

Trying to both plan for the future and improve my ride now - after just 3k miles, my Xterra sways like a fat lady dancing. I plan on putting a front bumper/skid plate on at some point in the future, not sure at which point in my future a winch will be added. Shrockworks sliders will go on very soon.

I want to upgrade to Bilstein 5100s, but wonder if my ride will be miserably stiff with 20% installed in the front without additional weight. I saw Brent's post, running 20% all around with T17 bumper, which is close, but no indication of anyone with stiffer shocks up front without a bumper. So, I'm trying to decide whether to get factory settings all around now, or go with 20% immediately.

Thanks in advance.
