Adding a plow

I bought a plow for my '88 4Runner SR5 V6, should I upgrade the front torsion rods? The plow weighs 280lbs. I do have beefier shocks on it.

I only plan on doing my driveway , not commercially.

I plan on disconnecting it when not in use, it's a Snowbear and comes off easily.

If it's just for doing your driveway, I wouldn't worry about it.

If it was more commercial you should consider better cooling, heavier clutch, etc. Plowing is hard on a vehicle.

Shocks are just dampers, they're not there to increase load capacity (but beefier ones don't hurt).
