    She's looking good man! Has made quite the transformation from when you started. How much drop are you running front and rear?

    Have you had any issues with the suspension bottoming out over speed bumps or anything like that after applying the lowering kit?

    Has anyone had issues or cause for concern with heavy cargo in the bed after lowering their trucks?

    I'd love to lower my truck, but I also use the bed for heavy cargo quite a bit and I don't want to sacrifice the capacity too much.

    My 2010 hits or rides on bump stops with about 250 pounds up . I m running the 4 pack tbs springs also .
    You carry heavy cargo all the time I dont think you will enjoy the ride .
    Latter I can upload pic showing how close bump stop gets to frame with TR kit

    EDIT
    Mines a prerunner

    I swapped in XR leaf springs, with low pro bump stops. Higher PPI. Better be a hard hit or really heavy load, to bottom out.

    At some point I plan on ditching my 4" block and going with 3" drop leafs and then a 1-2" block. Should be better.
