Do I need to upgrade front and back suspension?

2022 Stock trd off-road Tacoma with 6ft bed that I am going to put a 250 lb bumper replacement on in front and also replace back bumper. Haul 1000 to 1500 lbs of feed semi regular basis
I am rancher/veterinarian so I spend lots of time on rough roads and pasture two-tracks.
Do not want to change truck height if possible due to handy height to work out of.

Thanks for your expertise in advance

Adding a 250lb bumper would certainly need a heavier rate spring to keep stock height. With an aftermarket coilover, you could still keep your stock height in front. Rear would benefit from a full leaf pack and shocks to control it all. Aftermarket parts would also last longer with constant off-road use like you mentioned. Heavier duty leaf pack although would raise the lift height a bit. I know you don't want to lift the truck, but adding lift height will also help the suspension work better when offroad and loaded up.

Lots of options and variations to helping out with your ranch truck.

 

Nothing you mention is obviously outside the capability of a stock Tacoma. CAVEAT: the total weight with payload might be over GVWR. I would drive it stock until you get a feel for it’s strengths and weaknesses. You can always modify it later to suit your tastes.

Personally I would skip the 250lb bumper unless you have some special need for something that heavy.
