I've been wondering about adding weight in the form of bumpers to my stock suspension and I saw where Thatguy mentioned 200 pounds. Is that a rule of thumb in terms of adding accessories? If it turns out to be more, what's the best way to accommodate it?
Sorry for the thread hijack. Been a fabricator most of my life and I appreciate what you guys are building. Nice work.

Yeah I like the air shocks quite a bit, I'm sure they dont ride as good as some others but its a pickup and it should ride like one.
200 pounds is probably as heavy as you should go cause it is just a half ton, you can upgrade to thicker torsion bars. I have no idea why you could possibly want a bumper heavier or stronger than this one though haha.

Don't want one that heavy but I can see where the pounds might add up pretty quickly after accessories get added (winch, lighting, brush guard, etc.). Just curious to see what, if anything, can be done to accommodate it if a guy were to cross that 200 pound threshold.
