If you're running into a problem where you need suspenders on a battle belt, you might want to rethink your set up. Battle belts are intended to work with a Plate carrier or chest rig of one sort or another. Suspenders get quite uncomfortable under armor, in my experience. Might be worth moving some stuff off the belt on to the PC or chest rig if that's the case.
This ^^. I run an AR mag, 2 pistol mags, an IFAK, TQ, Glock 19 holster, handheld light, and fixed blade on mine, and have never felt the need for suspenders. Anything else, like extra mags, comms, etc is on the plate carrier.
