is it ok to add bumper and winch no no suspension upgrade?

...or nose will dip and I need stiffer springs or other upgrades?

I have 2020 TRD Pro, got Prinsu rack + RTT, and ARE HD canopy for camping trips.
I was thinking to add ADD bumper and winch, but I am worried that too much weight on front.

Any option and advice?

 

You're adding 100 lbs or more to the nose. That's a lot of weight at a leveraged point on the vehicle. You'll see a noticable degradation in ride quality and it'll dip the nose.

 

It’s fine unless you’re talking a full bumper.

 

What about with the coach builder kit? Been eyeing the C4 overland bumper with winch

 

I'll piggy back on this. I have a 2016 Pro. I am debating about going down the front bumper/winch rabbit hole. But what is stopping me is the question of replacing front suspension.

1. So am I able to replace the Bilstein pro spring with a stiffer spring or would I have to replace the whole unit.
2. If I can replace who makes them? I have googled and searched sites but never was able to find something that definitively would replace it. (more likely I wasn't asking right questions or right searches)

 

It sounds like you already have a good amount of weight on the rear so a bumper might actually help level you out. I would look into the possibility of an aluminum bumper and would definitely get a winch with synthetic line to save a little weight.

 

I can say that I have about 220lbs of added weight to the front of my 460. 80'ish lbs for the winch and close to 140'ish lbs for the bumper. If it were me, I would do the front suspension.

 

I didn't add a partial front bumper and a hitch but I did add a front hitch with a 12k Smitty built winch and the mounting platform. No noticeable droop but the who contraption sticks out further

 

I added toytec coilovers with shims and added a leaf in back to level things out...C4 bumper plus lights plus 12k smitty

 

How much was that front bumper setup, eventually I would like to go down the same place.

 

You are looking at probably 2k just for the bumper after you powder coat it locally...I had mine dropped shipped straight to the painter. The lights are pretty pricey...You can get on baja designs web sight and total it up. I have a 40 inch a 30 inch two LP9's XL 80 pro's Squadron pro's and a pair of s2 pro's. Should be able to get 20% off. I got the the gen 3 12k smitty for about 700. If you get all those lights I got a SPOD unit to control those...plus the 6 on my rear rack. I wired the squadrons into the truck fog switch and two S2 pro's in my rear bumper to the bed light switch since didn't need that with my cap in back.

 

Gotcha thanks, I was planning on buying everything from their site and maybe the back bumper.
