My 2013's saggy rear... driveline vibs and my findings from the dealer

I just hauled about 1500# in the back on my very old Taco, never hit a bump stop once...I have added one of these (under the front half of the leafs).....

and one of these over the rear half of the leafs......

I can crank down on the adjustable u-bolt on the rear half leaf to compensate for heavier loads, back it off for no loads...I switched out the nuts to ones that have the nylock inserts so they don't move with vibrations...

The front one takes care of the axle wrap, the rear one really keeps the springs from sagging big time...this is not to say they don't sag with 1500#, but they certainly help mucho much for sure...

Also, Advance has these insane 20% and 30% off coupons all the time, find them online, order, save $$$, pick up at your local store...I think I did mine for about $60 total....I also added some other stuff to stop the leaf sizzering, but that is another story....

It may not be Dakars or Old Man Emu shiza, but is works on the cheap....just tryin' to help....

 

The size of that load in my rear would make my butthurt................

 

No movement side to side , up and down was pretty sturdy too , not on the bump stops and just engaging the upper overload

 

I was guessing around 800lbs for the timbers when I loaded them , but yesterday VE7OSR calulated the weight of the cedar by volume at 1300lbs if they were at 12% MC

So approx 1300-1500lbs in timbers plus 200lbs for the cap

 

I put these in my 2013 AC and it was a huge improvement. We decided to leave the overload leaf in, and I got around 2" of lift on the rear when the truck is empty. I have a rack and shell on the truck and normally have tools in the back. The ride is much better, and even when near GVW I do not bottom out the rear in normal driving.

 

yeah its looking like down the road the wheelers hd pack and some billies all around with the fronts up one notch will be the ideal setup for me.
