    I do...I've got two tacos one stock and one built up, both with arb's. The bumpers aren't really that heavy. The steel is pretty thin gauge, not flimsy but not 1/4 inch either. The stock suspension has held up just fine for bout seven years now. Didn't notice any handling changes after install either.

    I'm thinking he's wondering about sag on stock suspension.

    I had my 75# front offroad bumper on my stock suspension for a few months before I lifted, I didn't really notice a difference honestly (I never measured).

    My ARB with 12k lb winch destroyed my front suspension. I could bottom it out just by jumping on the bumper, but its also a 14 year old truck so it was time for a change anyway
