anyone leave in the overload on a progressive aal?

do you mean the brackets that keep the springs aligned?

 

Wheeler HD 3 leaf progressive and overload installed.

 

Not to thread jack, but what kind of mirrors are those?

 

there is a bracket on the second spring that raps around the top spring on the ends. look to be riveted on. then there was a bracket on the overload spring that goes up the sides but not around left it on. then the new 3 leaf aal comes with a bracket that is on the top spring of the aal that bolts around the the top two factory springs that i also put on.

 

They look like Dodge, errr Ram tow-pkg mirrors. But I'm more interested on how he got them to mount clean to the Tacoma?

 

They are the ProEFX Tow Mirrors from LKQ. Given my reduced rearward visibility I wanted to upgrade the mirrors to help, and they are a nice upgrade from the stock mirrors. There is a thread in the Group Buy section on these, though I am not sure there is a current group buy going right now.

so the bracket on the overload u left straight up???? I was just thinking about cutting it off because the ubolts should keep it secured...im kinda confused

 

yes I left them on, didn't seem to be in the way of anything and also has the bolt for the e-brake cable.

 

Curious as to why Icon highly recommends NOT retaining the overload leaf. Why is that?

 

What kind of shocks r u guys running 5100? , 5125? 5160?

 

I have 5100

 

Pics? The bracket on the Wheelers progressive AAL interferes with the stock overload brackets. Did you just bend them?

 

He has a 2011 which unless he got the TSB done will have the old 2+1 leaf setup. I too installed the wheelers 3 leaf aal to my 2+1 leaf setup and kept the overload. No bracket issues at all. I think the issues only pertain to keeping the overload with the TSB 3+1 leaf setup.

 

yeah I have 2011 no problems with the overload bracket. I was ready to send a pic didn't see you have a 2015

 

Don't haul much in the bed. Besides the height difference does keeping the overload leaf in with my progressive 3 leaf AAL have any other advantage? It seems that people say ride quality is better but only when hauling heavy loads? Basically if i have just some fishing gear in the back and i leave the overload in along w the AAL is the ride still going to be fine?

 

i left my overload leaf in and it rides fine with a load and without a load...if you dont haul stuff, you shouldnt keep the overload leaf in

 

Are you lifted up front? If not I would leave it out.

 

I will be yes. 2" up front possibly 2.5 off I put in the top spacer to get rid of driver side lean

 

I left it in to get 2” in the back with 2.5 up front. Sits just a little higher in back but looks level.
