    What tires and tire pressure are you running? I had some 882's w/OME shocks years back that rode super smooth. Once I threw on some more aggresive MT tires, it definitely stiffened up quite a bit. Many times people blame their suspension for the ride that their tires are causing. This may not be the case for you but it is an idea to think about at least.

    Hey guys, so I have a 95 tacoma, single cab, 4x4 v6...I lifted the front 3"(bilstein 5100) and now I want to replace the leaf springs..which leaf springs would you recommend? I want some heavy duty ones but I emailed the people for the OME leaf spring but they didn't recommend those, as it would be more than a 3" lift on the back (since it's a single cab and has less weight than a double cab) and I would have to change the brake lines ( etc)..why do yall recommend?

    This is the first I've heard this but I could give it a try..the only thing is, they aren't cheap so if that doesn't work, it's quite a bit of money...do you know any leaf springs that lift the truck say 1.5-2 inches?? All in all, I just don't want it to exceed 3" in the back?
