    Love my Pelfreybuilt front plate bumper. WAY better approach angle than stock, real protection in case of a accident, and if you get the hoops to protect the lights it protects the grille and headlights as well.

    can anyone point me to a bumper, the main-purpose of which is to absorb an animal strike, that isn't heavy to the point that I'm gonna need to beef up the front suspension?

    either that or point me towards some coils that are strong enough to support one, yet don't lift the vehicle?

    thanks!

    Edit: Oh... it may be useful to mention that I have a 1st Gen

    Yeah, that's my top choice for the intended purpose
    I've just never heard of someone slapping one on without first putting on some heavier coils
    And I've never heard of heavier coils that don't lift the truck
    And! I don't want to lift my truck :mad:

    If you've ever driven in a corolla or civic with 3 people in the back seat and seen what it's done to the suspension, an ARB on stock coils will look and act the same.

    I've done it. The truck hates you every second it's on there without Aftermarket springs.

    you could get some eibachs, little bit of lift to negate the weight.
