    I have searched the forum and read many threads but can't find specific information on what I'm looking to do.

    Have a 2020 TRD Pro, looking to keep fox shocks but add the Eibach springs for a small lift. Question is, will these springs support a slimline hybrid, c4 low profile, etc. bumper and winch or just a hidden winch without the bumper? No rooftop tent or rear bumper (for now) and only minimal weight on the interior (tent, cooking supplies, cooler). Stock tires/wheels but may go to Wildpeaks 275/70/17, if that matters on stock rims.

    Looks like in theory it should with minimal to no sag in the front but hope someone can confirm.

    thank you all

    You could try this, depends on how you want to do it. It says only for 21-24, idk why it wouldn't work on a 20. It is for front and rear, idk if they split it up.

    Some people don't like preload collars. Otherwise yeah, those bumpers dont add a ton of weight so it wouldn't be bad. I would just add your bumper then see the result. I also run those 275/70 Falken's, load range C. Good tires

    I did Eibach 1.25” springs in front and 1” in back over factory springs. I also added larger Falken Wildpeak 285/70/17 tires. I have a hidden which with a Rough Country bumper. I don’t know if this helps you or not. Here are a few pictures. I have noticed after about 6 months that springs seem to have developed some type of squeak. Best way to describe it is like what the old car suspensions of the 70’s would sound like when it was really cold outside. I generally only hear it when I am going over a very bumpy road. I love Falkens. It’s the first thing I do on every truck I buy. Good luck to you.

    Yes. Bazinga was from the Big Bang theory. It’s because I am always popping up places. :)

    I had the Eibach springs on my 2020 AG Pro. But stock bumper and ran 285’s. Don’t mean to high Jack the thread. Are they LP4’s bajadesigns behind the grille? I assume you had to remove the front bumper? Which light mount did you use? Thanks.

    They are actually LP6. I can look up the bracket and let you know on Monday. All my paperwork is at the office. I had all of the lighting and winch installed when I did the supercharger so they didn’t have to keep taking off the grill and bumper. But yes, the grill would have to come off because of where they sit. They are wired so the backlighting is on when parking lights or headlights are on. They are super bright through the grill when actually on low or high though.

    Thanks Alex, I seen your truck is for sale. I was going to put them in my 20 AG but did not want to remove the front bumper. I won’t have no choice if I add them.

    I probably wouldn’t have done them by themselves based on the labor intensive work. However, I had a vision and once I started, the vision grew! And yes I am testing the waters to see if there are any serious offers out there. My luck though, if I sell it, we will get a blizzard this year.

    Yeah that’s what my thought is. I probably will put my amber diode pro fogs in and probably go the same way I did on my 20 AG Pro. I have the mounts yet and put bajadesigns 20 inch light bar in the top of the grille. Then you don’t have to remove the front bumper.

    I think the amber and orange will look really good.

    Thanks Alex, I think so too. I kept my fogs from my tundra pro I had.
