Do I need to upgrade my suspension on a 2023 SR5 with a C4 LoPro bumper?

    Hey all I'm new here. If I add a C4 LoPro bumper with no winch and a 30" baja light bar do I need to upgrade my suspension. In the long run I will most likely upgrade the suspension but I think for now I just want the look and strength of the steel bumper with light bar. I believe the parts removed are approx. 30 lbs and the C4 bumper is 75lbs plus the weight of the light bar.... so adding an additional 50lbs to the front end. I just dont want to wreck anything long term as I plan on having this vehicle for a long time. I live in the midwest so no real offroading for me for awhile. THANKS

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    That amount of weight is nothing. I had a similar bumper on my 21' Tacoma and didn't adjust or change out suspension, nor did I need to. I'm sure you may have a little bit more nose dive when braking, but nothing harsh.
