    OK, I have a 06 dbl cab short bed, with an ARE camper shell, with 3 inch spacers in the front and 2.5 blocks in the rear. I am currently running stock TRD Bilstiens. I pull a 14 ft utility trailer with a 62 inch zero turn on it and it weighs a good bit. I'm guessing trailer and mower in all weigh around 2k or better. Any who, the rear bottoms out like crazy and id like to get something to alleviate that, but not compromise the ride without a load. I would like to go ahead and do all four and be done with it. Any help would be appreciated. And by the way I will be starting my complete build shortly......

    Well first off spacers are not tge way to go in the front, and blocks arent too great in the back. But to answer your question, firestone airbags can be installed and inflated or deflated depending on how heavy the load is.. That sounds like what you need

    Well lets say I remove the blocks and spacers, I still want 3 inches of lift whats the best way to go about it? I see new leafs for the rear??? I also thought about bags but if i do that then I would end up doing on board air with a tank and the whole nine yards.

    Full Old Man Emu lift with Dakar leaf springs. Maintain your lift, get a better ride and handle loads well also.

    Yeah, but this is color by numbers! OME shocks, 885 coils, Dakar leaf springs and LR UCA's. Better ride than spacers and blocks and it'll actually handle hauling and towing.

    If you want something better, double the budget and go with Icon coilovers and rear shocks, Dakars and LR UCA's.
