Do I need stiffer springs??

[Zmartin19]

I just received a bunch of parts to put onto my 4runner and I was wondering if when I order a suspenion should I get stiffer springs if they are available, like the OME or Toytec springs. I have a Gobi rack with rigid 40" lightbar and two 6"s on the rear and RCI sliders. I plan on getting full aluminum skids as well from RCI. Does all this additional weight constitute stiffer springs or nah?

I know most people buy springs based on bumpers and winchs which I don't have but everything I've outlined above adds up to be quite a constant load.

Thanks

I have all of that on OEM springs (on 5100s) front/SAW 1.5" Coils out back and have no issues

You will be fine with that load, but the question is will you be adding bumpers/winches soon? You might want to go ahead and get heavier springs. Another route would be to get adjustable shocks so that when you add significant front weight you can just adjust the ride height that way
