    What spring rate did you order? Im trying to decide myself whether two 0-200 or 200-400 plans are a high clearance rear eventually but don't know if that's enough weight. Also did you buy grease pins?

    lol well yours was enough to seek corrective action and a solution. mine aren't the worst, simply noticeable, which is why I haven't thought the effort was worth it for any corrective action. I'll never tell anyone not to buy Treadwright because of my experience, but I will also never tell anyone they're the best ever lol. Mine simply aren't what I want.

    lol exactly, mine might ride just like coopers do or any other brand when you get to a 35" MT. I came from a 33" AT that was phenomenal. Only other time I've had 35" MTs was my 89 toyota pickup and it had Hankook Dynapro MTs and a spacer lift...so it rode like a gosh dang brick no matter what tires lol

    you won’t break an axle. It’s just a binding issue that wouldn’t be happening if the springs were designed for the Tacoma shackles.

    didnt know if it would cause the leaf to eventually break the shackle or not.

    currently have a standard rear bumper that I will be building a swingout for in the next couple weeks (this will be replaced by a HC rear that I will build eventually). This weight hanging off the back puts more of a load on the springs.

    Add in my RTT, heavy cooler, and camping crap and I’ll be between 700-750 lbs.

    Tires were just one that came to mind. Have you seen their Supra? That thing is awesome.

    So your thinking the middle set? That setup sounds like my plan, i figure better to buy the middle and hope it rides good.

    you can always remove a leaf from the pack. Buy for the future and remove a leaf to fit your current needs

    I have the middle set, HC rear w/swing out, dometic 75 dual zone on a slide with a light weight topper. And i wish i would have gotten the top level. Mine are great and support the weight nicly. But when its fully loaded up for camping it does start to sag just a touch.
