    I am thinking about getting a Slimline Bumper with light bar only No winch.
    I have a 2018 with Trd Pro Fox suspension on it do you suggest to change the Trd Oem spring or not? what is the Trd Oem spring weight rating?
    And witch Slimline bumper do you suggest since not getting a winch thanks for your help in advance if you have pix i would appreciate

    If you’re not getting a winch; and/or don’t off-road often; perhaps consider going aluminum with the bumper. Might save enough weight that you don’t have to mess with front suspension to offset it.

    Feel free to ask
    You’re going to be looking at around $700-1000+ for a steel slimline bumper and even more for an aluminum alternative. JMO, but that seems like a pretty costly way to mount a lightbar.

    You don’t need to upgrade your suspension for a slimline bumper
