    Hi folks. I haven't posted in a while due to life events lately. But.....I'm about to install a winch bumper and Warn winch on the front of my new TRD ORP next week. This 4runner came from the factory with a Ready Lift and factory Blistein shocks. Would I need to upgrade the shocks or any other suspension components to allow for the added weight? I'm going with an aluminum bumper and Warn 10,000# with synthetic winch line, so the weight will be less. I've added a DIY storage box in the rear of the vehicle that weighs about 100#. It didn't seem to squat much at all in the rear after install. I'm thinking that a winch on the front will equal out the weight nicely.

    Coils will be what supports the extra weight. My 700 lb coils are perfect with weight of low pro bumper and winch. I have also heard 650 lb coils recommended.

    I have no idea what the stock factory coils are rated for.

    OEM coils I would expect some sag with added weight.
