Armor with Stock Suspension on OR?

[CanyonFisherSummitSeeker]

Is anyone running bolt on sliders and/or armor with stock off road suspension? Is the ride as bad as I’m imagining?

I am, I can tell a bit of a difference just due to the added weight, but so far I wouldn't say it's ruined the ride at all. The ride still seems fine to me.
I have a steel engine and trans skids, and aluminum rock rails.

I have full armor and sliders (most armor is aluminum), and 285/70/17 K03s on a 25 hybrid TRD offroad. Stock suspension and ride feels great to me.

Thank you both for the responses. I’m just worried about bottoming out on the shocks with minor bumps as it’s already happening at speed bumps if I’m going faster than 12mph even if the speed bump says 15mph etc. appreciate the feedback. I know eventually I’ll upgrade suspension but really don’t want to do it just yet.

Any clearance concerns regarding brakes/suspension components with 17” wheels?

I have same truck. Apparently hybrids come with larger brake package than non-hybrids.

Im not the only one! I could not believe how easy it is to bottom out the factory OR suspension. I thought maybe something was wrong.

I added a smart cap and top racks. With sliders, and i do not have armor yet. And was bottoming out left and right with the stock OR our suspension
I just upgraded everything.

Quite disappointed by this. How hard could it have been to stiffen it just a little bit. Sheesh. Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone lol
