    Hello all. I ordered the C4 Fabrication Overland Series front bumper in March and it happened to arrive about the same time I took delivery of my Tundra this past weekend. I just got the bumper back from powder coat today. I was wondering, is the stock suspension able to support the full size bumper without upgrading the suspension?

    Edit: I have the SR5 TRD off road with the bilstein suspension.

    Would it support it? Yes but it's going to increase the rake.

    My CBI setup is going to be ~280lbs all in with the winch & lights, etc. If the C4 is near that (which I think it would be) then you'll probably have an inch of compression on your front end after install.

    How much does it weight and will it have in winch? I suspect if the answer is no then it might compress the front end 1/2"-1". With a winch it will be a bit more. Although my 10000 lb warn with synthetic line isnt THAT heavy.

    But the issue isnt so much the compression, its how it rides trying to carry that weight. The springs might be too soft and so it will nose dive and generally drive crappy. Thats where you would want some stiffer coils to help not only get it back up to the height you want but also control the truck better.

    It may just look like it has Sport model suspension is all.
