Too much crap to deal with if you get a body lift (relocate rear bumper, can not safely relocate ARB with the winch, wiring, moving steering, gap between the frame and body, don't gain any extra clearance between the frame and the ground, bla bla bla)
Carlton, you were at Nissannet. Did you not take a look at Mehdi's truck. He has the 2" BL, and a lifted ARB. He also has the Warn HS9500. If you recall, he even used the winch on a couple of occasions. The ARB did not move or flex with the new 2" cradle. Even while winching GAtor at that bad angle.
I just don't understand how you can say that you can't raise an ARB safely for use with a winch.
Oh, and if you are really wearing your tires badly with the lift, By all means remove the A-arms and go back to the stock arms until you can get something worked out. Alignments are cheap compared to the cost of 2 new tires.
