    I'm about to buy an ARB bumper for my 1st gen 1998 4x4 Tacoma. Can my stock suspension handle the weight?

    I would say you would sag some with stock springs, there fairly weak to begin with. I have and arb bunper with OME 882s and they didn't sag at all with the bumper.

    My 2007 did fine with arb bumper on stock springs for 6 years. It probably sagged about 3/4 of an inch below stock.. Just plan on upgrading your springs someday for a better ride and look..

    I know different truck...
