Hey everyone got a question for you all. 2017 Toyota 4Runner pro with stock suspension.

Parts ready to install: ( website weights)
Prinsu full length rack: 70lbs
C4 Fab sliders: 160lbs
CVT mount Rainer tent: 200lbs

I’m wondering with the extra weight in mods to prevent the sag if I should just upgrade the springs and only the springs. I do not want to go all out at the moment and spend some serious cash on a whole suspension kit. Is this feasible or?

that little bit probably wont see an impact

if you are going to off road its always a great idea to upgrade suspension components etc

good luck

Best bet is to take a measurement before the install and then after. That's really the only way to know for sure how much sag you'll get with the extra weight.

If you want to wait on a more complete upgrade, suspension-wise, but the sag is more than you feel comfortable with then I might suggest the inside-the-coil type airbag helper. Firestone sells a no-drill kit for under $100. It would be a nice temporary solution until you decide on a more complete setup.
