Anyone add weight to a 2019 TRD Pro
I’m happy that I made the switch from Jeep to Toyota. After all the stuff I did to the Jeep, I wanted to keep it simple and went with the 19 Pro. I did not plan to mess with the suspension. That being said, I would feel better with a winch since some of my hunting trails are deep and can get pretty wet. I ordered a c4 bumper last month and it shipped two days ago. I picked up a winch and am concerned the total weight will cause the front to sit much lower.
I thought I could simply change out the coils but after several calls, I have had zero luck finding a solution.
Has anyone added weight? If so what were the results or if you found heavier coils.
Thanks

I didn't see any drop in front when I added C4 bumper and 10k winch .. I highly suggest the corn-fed type of spacers to even out the front

You should upgrade the suspension, when you do, I'll take those awful Fox Shocks off your hands.
In all seriousness, you should be fine.

Man you love to hate on the Pros. This is like the third thread I have seen you bash them. Guess I am crazy for adding a winch and bumper to my 4Runner, I should just tackle the mall parking lots instead of the woods.
Jealousy still does not look good on you bud. Thanks for the helpful post and good luck with your tires rubbing.

No expert here, but do you know about how much weight you’ll be adding? If so, can you simulate the weight somehow (hang weights from the frame somewhere near where the bumper/winch will be) and measure the change in height? Just a thought.

I have an SSO Slimline bumper and winch totaling around 130 lbs on mine. I lost about 3/4" to sag on the "factory" Trail springs (590lbs?). I ended up going to an OME 885 which was almost perfect to offset that much weight, but I am on 5100's and could set my notch back at 0 to offset for the 2" lift the 885 advertised.
I think you are going to have to use a spacer cap if you find the droop objectionable. I'm just not familiar enough with the newer Fox shocks to make any recommendations for what might work since I don't know whether any of the current spring setups will fit them. The same problem applied to the older Bilstien TRD Pro setup because they had TRD Pro specific front springs and shocks, and wouldn't accept the available springs that fit the current 4Runner aftermarket. It's just too new a setup for most of us to be able to be much help.

Zero luck after several calls? Who the hell did you call?!
So many different options.. Check the stickies on the top of the forum.
Easy approach: Add .75-1" cornfed top spacer.

Lighten up Francis....this is the interwebz. And I’m probably 1 out of hundreds in here who tease and joke light heartedly the Pro guys. Why so touchy? You paid $50k for a 4runner...be proud and own it!

I should have clarified. I meant I was trying to simply add a stronger spring.

How did you know my name is Francis? I didn’t pay 50k and I like to be touched. Any other questions?
