Okay so I'm slowly entering upgrading my Tacoma. I'm not "mechanically dumb", just don't know all the good upgrades I should do to my truck. So far I've decided that I want to get a pelfreybilt steel front bumper and rear bumper, I'm kinda a cheap a** and don't want to spend the extra 400 for the aluminum. That's 400 bucks for ammo to me, or gas. I have a 2016 tacoma 4wd off-road. Is it necessary to get new front struts and coilovers because of the extra weight? Like most folks, I drive on pavement 80-90% of the time, but just about every time I go "off road" I do find myself getting into sticky and bumpy situations.

Front plate weighs 110-120lbs depending on add ons
Rear bumper standard is 85lbs with out gate, with gate 135lbs
Rear hi-clearance without gate 140lbs with gate 190lbs
All steel weight.
If you are getting the standard rear and the front without add ons your total added weight will be 190lbs
110lbs in front and 85lbs in rear.
Stock off-road suspension could handle it with little visual sag. If you get the hi clearance with gate and all the add ons you'll notice it more.
