Buying lift kit - toytec coilover question?

I'm going to be purchasing this Ultimate Lift Kit for my '98 4Runner. I have a question about the front coil options here, I can choose the normal 600LB coils or the 650LB for additional 150LB weight up front. Now if you read above that, it states, "HD 650lb coils should not be used without 200 LBS additional front weight from aftermarket accessories (Heavy bumper and or winch)". Now the thing is, I am going to be looking to buy an aftermarket front bumper (probably an ARB) and maybe a winch here in the next couple months. Will it still be okay to go with the additional 150LB even though I won't have those pieces for a few more months? Thank you.

I have the 600 lbs springs on a stock bumper, it will be a little stiff until you get the extra weight. I'll drive drive mine almost every day and it feels funny when I brake, since the front no longer nose dives. You will be ok. The 650 lbs you want to add at least 200 lbs of weight when your done. I think stock are 500lbs springs. Have fun, I love mine.
Make sure you have a helper installing the front, lots of prying and pushing to get them in. The helper comes in handy too for adjusting the coils.

Okay, yeah I'm sure a nice new ARB bumper and a winch weigh around that much together.
I know, I'm going to have a couple helpers by my side.

Thanks for the reply!
