Supposed to have put on black lugnuts but didn’t so I got some coming. I still have some polish to add to bumper and finish wiring the lights. Wasn’t to bad an experience putting the bumper on solo.

I also have not mounted the additional skid plates on the bumper corners and underneath. More to follow.

Also modified the Cali Raised Rock slides to fit my truck.

I mean still. I felt when the aluminum CBI plates went on my truck. If they were steel I'd be shopping for springs. A whole bumper would definitely justify a respring.

My plates are only like 50lb total and it was absolutely noticable.

Is yours 4x4? I’m probable circling the weight max with just the SmartCap, bed slide and roof rack.

Yeah 4x4 crew cab. I want sliders (no steps now, just bare rockers) but I'd need to look for springs if I'm going to add another 40lb per side towards the front of the truck.

You can add a leveling kit to front and back. Basically a chunk of aluminum in the back and longer u bolts. One manufacturer swears they have four leaf springs that work up to 2026
