Creeper stepping into the light

Hey Guys,

I have been ogling pictures of your trucks and reading through random threads for awhile now. Lots of amazing info on here so thanks for that. I have been a creeper for to long now and figured I would step out of the shadows. Never figured I had much to offer at this point and didn't want to be that guy who just took with out contributing because thats how this whole thing is supposed to work. I have lots of questions and lots to learn but at some point down the road I will have a couple cents worth of something to offer someone.

I bought a 2006 Double Cab TRD Off Road almost 2 years ago. Where the heck did the time go? Anyways, had 30,000 miles on it so felt pretty lucky. Have not done much to it yet. Bakflip CS1, pop and lock, new tires, replaced head unit, back up camera, and a new mirror. I think thats about it, oh ya had to get mud flaps to pass inspection. Ill try to get some pics up at some point.

I don't really understand forum etiquette regarding where to post about what but I sure I will figure it out and if not, then if someone could point me in the right direction as I go that would be greatly appreciated. This is the new members section which was suggested so here it is and Hello.

I did just beat the deadline and got approved for the frame swap so I have a few questions regarding that but ill snoop a little first. Have a good night fellas, glad to be apart of the community.

Welcome to the TW family!

 

Asking the real questions! Glad you’re learning how to navigate the forum.

 

Thanks

 

Well I've gotta build up some relationship and plan how to properly flood this forum with all my questions

 

Read, read, read, you'll see and hear how things go on here.
Great, active forum this is, hold on...

 

So when I bought my 4x4 TRD off road there was an assumption of performance suspension but I'm hitting my back end constantly w some weight in the back. I'm a contractor so it's annoying because I constantly have weight in the bed. Anyone else experience this with TRD off roads? Bilstein 5100's seem to be a popular choice and I wonder how that will effect the back end comparatively.

 

Welcome to TW Cliff

 

It's the factory springs. They don''t support weight very well. Best option is a aftermarket leaf pack. Short term is a add a leaf.

 

Yeah that's the weak leaf packs. Sumo springs, firestone airbags, or aftermarket leafs are all possible remedies.
