Can the ToyTec Superflex rear coils support a rear steel bumper?
I did some searching and couldn't find a definitive answer, so...
Will the ToyTec Superflex rear coils support the added weight of a rear steel bumper?
The site says it adds an additional 10% load capacity to the rear, is that enough to support the added weight of a rear steel bumper + spare tire, etc?
I have this set up, anybody out there running this with a rear steel bumper?:

Based on past experience with other springs I think you will be at the limit. If your not carrying a huge load you should be fine. But if you are moving the spare from under to off the bumper that will also play in since you are moving the load farther out. But agin if you are not carrying a big load I would not foresee any major sagging. Worst case you slip in a 1" daystar poly spacer back there if your going to be making a extended trip with heavy loads.

How much weight would it be? I wouldn't do it. Mine was weighed down with 4 stock wheels amd tires in the cargo area, probably by about an inch. OME is probably a better choice for added weight.

What other coils would be options to support all that added weight?
Would I need to replace the rear shocks too, or would the bilstein 5100s be fine?

Shocks will be fine, they have other coils for the extra weight
