    Hi all,

    I'm looking to install the C4 FAB front bumper with hoops (130lbs) on my friend's 2019 TRD sport. He has the stock coil spring double wishbone front suspension. Will the front bottom out with that weight, put too much strain on the suspension or drastically alter handling of the truck? Do we need to change the suspension?

    Appreciate any recommendations/experience! Thanks guys!

    Look and see.....
    I'll bump this because I'm about to take on the same thing with my truck, similar weight bumper but I'm going with the c4 hybrid with full height bull bar. They say it's 125lbs.

    The truck will likely squat up to an 1”. If they plan to off-road they will likely hit the bump stops on occasion. You typically want to upgrade the coils when adding extra weight

    I have stage 4 Icons with 600 or 650lb springs. I have the C4 Hybrid with bull bar. I also have a Warn Zeon s-10 and an S8 light bar. I run 33's and if I break hard enough I'll rub. I'll also rub coming out of my drive way turning left. I just haven't had the time to throw on my 700lb springs.
