    Ehh saving $25, I am interested but why did you decide against them? Couldn’t you just return them for full price ?

    I waited to long to return them, was busy at work and now I will be charged restocking fee. My truck is stock, my previous Tacoma sagged bad with weight in the back but so far these springs hold better. Figured I would try and get most of money back instead of letting them sit in my garage.

    $25 is $25 and they are brand new in box. Plus I would eat the shipping cost too.

    No worries, I am an honest man but that’s hard to know from a forum.

    The hitch line did not reach I am not sure if there’s a kit to extend the line but any pointers would be great.

    Worst case you can just splice in some longer wire to make it reach. If I did it myself I would solder the connection, use heat shrink tubing and split loom around it all.

    Are you having good luck with the Icon RXT Leaf Springs? I've recently added a cap and a loaded truck gives me a lot more sag. I already have an Icon Stage 4 suspension, but need a little help on the back! Thanks!

    Might as well icon everything. RXT leaf pack is a better ride compared to other leaf packs. No overload leafs, pro to me but cons for other who carry a crap load of weight in the back and are lifted high in the front which may cause nose high effect. I’m on option 3 with a 2” lift up front

    Icon RXT's ordered. Now I just need to figure out if Option 2 or 3 is the best mounting position for them!

    Are you gonna add a bunch of weight? Rear bumper blah blah blah. I had about 400lbs and dropped me .75”

    I did option 3 to ready my self for a rear bumper etc. if you just gonna street princess it you will be fine on option 2.

    My current rake on option 3 is 1.5” or so. I have maybe about 100lbs of crap in my bed. When my bed was empty it was 39.75” from ground to fender. Front is 38.25

    Good luck!

    Thanks! Good to know. I've added a Snugtop shell, and carry a Tepui RTT. Both of those, along with gas, water and camping gear adds up to a lot, but haven't ever added it up. I usually just drive with the shell only though, so want to make sure it's not overkill on the daily driving. No plans for a rear bumper since I modified the underside to make my spare fit.

    As a kid, my dad would go by toys r us and just buy the cheap bags of play sand. easy to throw in, and didn't break the bank. TRU is gone now of course, but Lowes/Home Depot will have them I'm sure.
