    Hello all,

    I have GoRhino front bumper with a 12K winch on my 2019 stock suspension and it is too much weight for the factory springs. It feels like I bottom out if I hit speed bumps too fast. I'm doing a 4" spacer lift in the near future and already have the kit (https://www.suspensionconnection.com/54905kn-tacoma-lift.html) so I don't want new front lift springs nor do I want to have to experiment with different suspension lift heights to balance out the suspension. I only need to replace my stock front springs with more heavy-duty ones to accommodate the added weight on the front suspension.

    Does anyone have recommendations or a link or two that can direct me towards heavy-duty front springs that won't provide lift?

    Internet searches direct me to different lift kits but figured someone here would be able to help steer towards finding stock height heavy-duty front springs. I will install the heavier duty front springs when I do the 4" lift.

    I realize I could try leveling things out with more expensive full suspension lift kits but since I already have the 4" spacer lift and will only run 33" tires, more heavy-duty stock height springs to match the spacer lift are my best option. I've done the hardcore 4 wheeling thing with my built FJ40 and don't need a lot of travel or more flexy suspension. The Tacoma will be for logging roads and mild trails getting to camping and hunting spots. A 4" lift is perfect for me but without the heavier-duty front springs, the spacer kit would probably just bring me back to stock height because of the added weight of the bumper and winch. This wouldn't address the problem that the front stock springs just can't accommodate the added weight.

    Thanks,

    Dan
