How long?
The question is how long will you be driving until you get all the "stuff" put on that you plan to put on it?
Given my own recent experience with exactly this issue, the front springs (550 lbs, vs std 500) are fine, but the rears are 3" +400lbs, and they're stiff without any weight - to the extent that I put 250lbs of batteries and metal over the rear axle so I could drive it daily without losing a kidney.
I've driven a 3/4 ton diesel truck for the last 17 years, so I'm not unaccustomed to a rough ride, and before I put all the armor and camping do-dads in it, it was just not the ride I wanted out of my 4Runner.
If I had to do it again, I would have put the softer springs in the rear and swapped them out once I got everything else put on. The first time you swap springs, it sucks. Once you know the tricks, second time around was a breeze.
