    Hi! Currently have a 5th gen on stage 2 icons. Will be adding a prerunner style bumper and RCI front skid plate (steel). Was wondering if it’s recommended to upgrade my springs to the 700incb/lb springs for the front.

    Since spring installation has nothing in common with either the bumper or skids, you could wait and see if the springs are needed.

    Unless you’re paying someone to install everything all at once…

    Then my first point stands.
