    So...I just put in LED's for my DRL's and now my DRL's, signals, and hazards do t work - with the LED's or the factory halogens.

    What do I need to do?

    It was hard to use my brains. Eventually figured out I blew a fuse. Oops.

    I normally have a portable and a hard wired radio. I'm not sure how I'd mount it in this truck - in my Wrangler I didn't care much but I like this truck so I want it mounted nicer. What HAM are you using?

    Wheelers Progressive AAL, Firestone RideRite airbags.
    I have the Wheelers Progressive 3 leaf on the rear of my Baja. I installed them because I wanted to remove my factory overload spring.

    I also installed the Firestone airbags and Daystar cradles. I primarily did this for carrying loads.

    You can get a 3/4" spacer for your front as well from wheelers. Here's with the AAL installed, the Airbags inflated to around 12psi, and a 500lb rider in the back.

    Stuff
    I too own a 2015 TRD Pro and am wrestling with the crappy factory rear springs. I have a camper shell which instantly induced taco squat. I remedied the squat with Icon AAL's. However, I camp often and use it off-road. The current spring setup is not working when loaded for a camping trip. Icon said that I could put the overloads back in and that might help me more when loaded for camping. I am considering custom Deaver springs next spring.
    In my own experience, the Icon AAL's work well when you aren't asking too much from your load capacity. They ride well and take the taco squat out of the picture. Just don't ask more than 500lbs or so out of them in extra capacity.
    Nice truck.

    Where did you get your parts?

    I found a spacer that toytech makes for the front and a few people have suggested OME add a leaf for the rear.

    Air bags are looking like a good idea.

    Wheelers front spacer is much cheaper since its plastic... which is what the OEM ones are anyway lol. I get my Wheelers AAL from them directly. The firestone stuff I got at a site that was posted here a few weeks ago, and the daystar brackets off Amazon.

    Had I done it differently, I would have just replaced my rear springs with the Old Man Emu's, removed the overload, and installed the airbags for the Overload.

    I don't have an issue with a polymer spacer. Doesn't OME have a spacer as well?

    I'll go for the OME springs I'm just not sure when.

    Got my Hi-Lift mount in. I chose the All-Pro mount. Quality product and a nice crew. I got home pretty late so I'll have to take more pictures later.
