Advice on suspension & Front bumper

Thank you all for the advice.

So far I am thinking hard about these 3:

(o) Victory 4x4 skid plates - I migh opt only for the TC skid and keep the front stock skid, more thinking needed about that

(o) Eibach sounds the best for what I am looking for.

(o) Victory 4x4 front bumper - I might wait in this for a bit.

Can anybody recommend a trustworthy mechanic/shop in the Seattle ares that can do the suspension / front bumper install ?

I can install the skid plates myself but don't have a garage or space to work on the front bumper, and I prefer a mechanic to install the suspension.

Thanks

IMO, the best bang for the buck is our (Eibach) stage 1 kit. 4 springs and 4 shocks that carry a million warranty for about $575. Rides very well, too.

I have a 2019 4Runner TRD ORP and I am going to be installing a Victory bumper (76lbs) winch (60lbs) and LED light (1-2lbs) total estimate 140lbs. I plan to upgrade the suspension to better handle the extra weight, but don’t need a lot of lift. Would the Eibach stage 1 kit be able to handle that and keep a OEM stance/rack?

The majority of driving will be on paved road, plan for vehicle is road trips to national parks with off roading and occasional weekend off roading trips.

Update:

I bought the Victory 4x4 skid plates (steel), they are heavy and solid. Delivery took about 2 months.

I also installed a set of General Grabbers ATx.

Will wait on the bull bar.

Planning a trip to Moab in September (2019), will have 3 weeks to roam around, Zion, Arches, etc. Will see how much I can cover in 3 weeks, and how is my rig going to behave.
 
Did you do the suspension? I ask because I am contemplating OME but not sure I will be able to upgrade tires until the winter. Was wondering if you did the lift before getting bigger tires. I don't want it to look like my 4Runner is skipping leg days at the gym. Any info is appreciated.
 
Pretty much in the same boat. Bumper and winch to come. Looking at Eibach and Dobinson lift. Cant stand the money for King's and money issue and too much negative feedback on the Icons.

I have a similar plan, what did you go with?
 
Wondering if you found a good place to do the install? I am in the same boat as you, have a bumper but not space to install myself. Thanks.

Do you have a link to this kit and price? For some reason I am not finding it. Looking to install a front steel bumper and thought maybe I should be doing this at same time. Does it work with KDDS as well? thanks.
