    I am concerned about the additional 150 lbs of steel under the truck on a stock TRD OR suspension. The Toyota Bilsten faux 4600 suspension.

    Especially since I am rocking a 275/70R17 ~80 lb spare under the truck as is.

    I have the C4 Fab full armor kit on the way & am trying to get a feel on the strain this is going to do to my truck.

    I think I am going to be fine, but I am far from a Subject Matter Expert. I just started dabbling with tacos a few months back & learned most of what I know from you all.

    Am I wrong or missing something?

    Does an additional 150 lb passenger cause problems for you? No, it just sags a bit more. Same thing will happen.
