Subwoofer Opening Rear Seats

Icon Top Plate Reinforcement!?

Hey gang!! New to this forum and really excited about my 2025 taco coming in a couple months as a factory order. I have (as most of us have) seen the thread about the aluminum top plate located in the front shocks breaking when off-roading, possibly due to a new design that eliminated the external bump stops on the 24’+ Tacos. Now I do believe Bilstein addressed the issue, stating that their bump stops are now built-in the actual shocks. My question is, if I decide to add the aftermarket Icon top plate, in the event of bottoming out and cracking the aluminum part by Toyota, would Icon reinforcement plate “transfer” the load to a more important part like a control arm, thus potentially causing more expensive damage? Or is the Icon plate a cheap and effective preventative measure, “solving” the potential issue? Any advice is welcome and greatly appreciated!!

I know this might be more of a me problem, but I do like the subwoofer that comes with the truck, and ya I do bump it hard, but it keeps opening up my rear seats. Does this sound like I have locking issue with my seats or is the woofer just hitting too hard? Let me know your thoughts
