Broken spring, need heavier spring advice
2015 TRD Pro with SSO front cutout winch bumper and winch, discovered one front spring is cracked and the other broken badly.

Need a front spring recommendation pls, that will better handle the additional 150lbs of front end weight.

Thank in advance for the help.

I highly recommend 14"×3" 650# King springs, it'll help out with the additional weight and give you a slight lift. Your suspension looks like it has quite a bit of rust, you might want to inspect other suspension components integrity.

I believe that your TRD pro has 60mm Bilstein shocks (very similar to the 6112). Those shocks require springs with an inner diameter large enough to accommodate the large shock body. Bilstein sells a set of medium load springs
Part: 53-291387.

If you're interested in replacing the shocks also, Bilstein sells a 6112 that includes springs that apparently would accommodate a somewhat heavier load.
Part number: 47-281202.
Although finding them in stock can be a little difficult.

Here is more info on the 6112 springs on this thread to give you a visual of the lift. Rear springs upgrade would be ideal to balance the rear rake.

Considering how old those shocks are, it is probably best to just get 6112s on 650lb springs and call it a day.

But of course, there is no perfect rear match so there is that (I am still waiting on my second 8100 to arrive, having ordered in January and received one two weeks ago!).
