    Well it's official the 2410 kit is NOT designed for my 4x2 Tacoma TRD Off Road. Something about the lugs? I was told by the shop I need the 2407. Ugh. Several sources assured me the kit I bought was correct. Even a lady at Firestone. Took the day off work and everything. Bummed. Atleast the sway bar went on without any issues.

    Got a friend that got some. I don't think he's happy with them. Last time we talked about it he was asking about my Dakars.
    He says they work great for towing, but limit down travel quite a bit.
    No big if your mall crawling, but if you actually use your truck off road it might cause a problem.

    Ive got a 2017 Double cab , long bed 4x4 Tacoma Sport and have the ARE Matching Cap on it ,rubber bed Matte as well. I will be traveling with 3 Guys including myself .My 2 friends are big boys.I''ll be loaded in bed pretty full.Hauling a 6'x10' OpenUtility Trailer with 2 ATV's and 4 loaded coolers . Sooo.... Ive decided to not go air bags...Just to me makes another situation if air lines or bag gets damaged. Pretty sure I'm going with either Timbrens or SumoSprings ! As it is now unloaded with no trailer,Id like to control some side to side sway the vehicle already has with the cap weight,as well as support when I'm loaded as described. So... Trying to decide between the Timbrens & Sumo's or Additional Leaf Spring add on-I'm not getting in to changing out to complete new leaf springs and not doing airbags . Any thoughts??

    Without the bags this would not be possible.
    Not a sports car by any means but I throw this truck around on the road like it was my old Forester. Much more fun with a M/T and airbags.
    Also replaced the rear shocks with Bilstein 5100 (Rear Shock Absorber 24-186728) and the difference is like night and day. Wallowing over road undulations and slamming into the stops (or whatever the rear used to hit and create a 'bang') over bumps is gone.

    Sorry to revive this thread. How much lift do these add to the rear if used with the daystar cradles and the bottom is not attached with only 5psi for regular, unloaded travel? I am looking to minimize the possibility of rake.
