    A small handful of select mods.
    If you are referring to your 3rd gen it comes standard wit a 700lb+ coil. So I wouldn't go with anything less unless you plan to just keep the front stock.

    Stuff and junk and things...
    Cause Toyota had road racers tune the 3rd gen shock and spring package.

    Look at what 2nd gens are doing for spring rates, it shouldn't be any different. Even with the grouper mouth sized grill. a 600 or 650 should be fine with minimal added weight up front.

    Now that summer is almost over... I had an interesting project I just thought of to add to the list of things I want to try.

    Having the Prinsu rack means I have tons of crossbars. I was thinking that if I put some of that plastic type awning fabric connected to the front and rear bars, then run under the cross bars, it may keep the roof free of a lot of sun, and lower interior temps. I've been thinking of adding a roof vent to the topper, but this would be a bit easier.

    Had I thought of it sooner, I would've tried, I have some tan colored stuff. It would've been ugly but I could've done some testing before proceeding with the project. Maybe if we get some more heat next week I'll give it a try. I do have vent visors, but they only do so much.

    Something like this...

    Suspension feels squishy to me. I guess it because the way it's mounted though.

    The BOSS kit is available with 600# or 650# springs for the second gen. Not sure about 3rd gen though.

    Yeah. Heard his name a couple times but I haven't been watching closely. Just background noise mostly until the regular season.

    EDIT: just checked and he had 4 carries for 11 yards and one catch for 8 yards

    Yeah. I'm a Utah boy, and Ute fan, so I'm biased, but that dude is gonna be a beast for the Broncos.

    The dude I spoke to at Toytec said 600# for their coils or at least that is what I heard. And my leafs look almost flat in the rear not sure if that is normal.

    My rear springs are flat as a pancake. Stock springs are a joke and I don't believe they changed them for the 3rd gen...

    What do you mean my normal use? When you have extra load in your bed? what is the benefit if aftermarket leaf pack than if they are flat as well?

    Normal use as in daily driving. Yes, there is typically a good amount of weight in the truck. Topper, compressor, fridge, water tank and work or camping stuff... One day I want to swing by the weigh station just to see what the hog weighs in at.

    With no weight, they shouldn't be flat, but it obviously does not take much!
