    Yeah normally its about 4k lbs but sometimes can be like 6-7k that's when I have to play with the load and tongue weight to not ride bumps. Wonder if this whole upgrade would make me sit more level....o_O:fingerscrossed:
    This is what its like with about 6k behind it (had about a finger width till the bump).

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Eh I dunno if I'd do a block. Put the lift on and wait it out. After 20,000mi or so on mine it settled in lower than the front. That's when you should decide what to do next.

    And I did a Deaver light expo U402's.

    You won't need extended brake lines yet, but they don't hurt anything and aren't too expensive. Would be nice to add them but not required until you get a full aftermarket leaf pack.

    2.5-3" up front and 2" out back will keep you "level". Your front end may be a half inch higher, but nothing noticeable, and it'll keep your truck more level when towing.

    Everywhere I look is 709.99. I would try calling toytec direct and see if they can give you special TW member pricing.

    I work in sales for auto parts (I don't sell what you're looking for otherwise I would have hooked you up hours ago) but one big thing I've learned is place your orders over the phone. The person that takes the order is held accountable if anything is wrong if you ask them to make sure it is all correct, and there is usually an available extra discount if you ask, but you have to ask for it.

    sent a message and got a discount code ended up with 31.05 off the kit so down to 589.94. Seems like a decent price because of the AAL is thrown in.

    Leaf springs are big and so shipping is usually a mofo.

    Could be worse? No chance for local pick up?

    I don't believe so I think they are out of CO im in CA. Yeah could be but also not amazing when you are already spending that much money and its going to take like most of my paycheck and leave nothing in my account.

    Toytec is in CO so no tax. Headstrong is in CA so tax but might be able to dodge shipping costs by picking up.
    Whats the better of two evils?
