    I have a 2005 TRD off-road with a 2.5” OME lift with nitro shocks. I don’t have anything off road on it to weigh it down. Will adding this bumper cause any problems with my lift. I have a block in my leaf pack not an aal. I don’t want to add to much weight but I removed my spare tire underneath and want to get a matching spare and mount it on the carrier. What do you recommend for products. I need to have a license plate back there too.

    Update: I ordered this bumper with a jerry can. I’m on the fence about installing it my self or take it to a garage.

    I want to wire the light to the reverse lights. Should I use the trailer light harness? Any input would be great about wiring or removing the stock bumper.
    Thanks
