    I have made a decision on the suspension upgrade. After talking to LoadedTaco, who is very helpful, I realized I need to do it right. I am replacing the Baja suspension. Why? This is my first taco. I have wheeled Jeeps and I need a little bit more out of the truck.
    I am looking for info on this set up. I will be adding aluminum skid plates 86-90 lbs. Aluminum bumper 65lbs and winch 65lbs = 130 lbs. Rear bumper 85 lbs, camper shell 200 lbs and additional metal rack 90 lbs ,similar to the Pack Rack by All Pro Off road, but will mount exterior of the shell. I will also install rock sliders. Enough of the rambling here are the parts let me know what you think. I am looking around 2.5 of lift, a slight rake is fine. Does anyone know the spring rates?

    I have been contemplating it and came to the conclusion that I will use the rear reservoir.

    Icons are 650lb springs by default. When I had mine rebuilt by down south Motorsports I had them upgraded to 700lb springs as I was also installing the same as what you mentioned.

    Do you know if Toytec or Wheelers would be able to upgrade the spring when I order them?
