    The situation:

    2016 SR5 with most likely stock suspension (bought used) and 56,000+ miles.

    Off-roading consists of logging roads/sites for work and occasionally hunting.

    Will a 50 pound steel front skid give me problems?? Daily driving or off road?? I DO NOT want to change my suspension.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've had the rci engine and transmission steel skids on for a couple months now. Stock off road suspension no issues so far. Maybe I lost 1/2 a mpg, but I don't keep track

    NO. I had a Fab Four Steel Bumper with Warn 9.5 cti winch and a full steel skid package. That was an issue. I end up upgrading then.
