Back of the truck sagging.

Hi all!
I have 2019 Tacoma SR5 4x4 5' bed.

I know this topic was on this forum , but I haven't seen similar case as mine described.
I'm a carpenter in NY I have all my tools on my truck every day, I don't take them off at all. Because of that back of my truck is lower than a front. I'm looking for a solution for that, I want my truck to look as level as possible. I was thinking about Sumosprings or maybe adding a helper leaf.
Load on my truck is not crazy big , I say is somewhere around 300-400lb but it's clearly visible that the back is sagging, factory leafs look like there are kind of weak.

Side note: not lift on my truck yet.

What would You guys suggest me to do?

 

I’d think an AAL would be your answer. You might need to put a spacer in the front though.

Maybe something like this. (I’m not sure if this is the correct option)

Edit: Welcome to TW.

 

Factory springs are known to sag a bit. Your thoughts on either a helper leaf or Sumo springs is on the right track. I personally would go with the Sumos based on your payload but if you were to start hauling heavier loads then I would certainly consider helper leafs instead of the Sumos.

Firestone airbags are bad ass. I have them on mine and they are amazing

 

Welcome to the forum!

For a daily load of 3-400lbs, I recommend upgrading the leaf pack!

I think you'd be better off replacing the entire leaf pack - 400lbs of constant load will be a lot for an extra leaf to handle

I run OME Dakars in the medium range - they are affordable and would handle your weight, but also tend to squeak if not kept clean and lubed and will rub on your stock shackle without modification.

I don't have any experience with Sumo springs, but it's well known that when you use a Tacoma like a truck to haul stuff, the stock leaf packs have never been up to par.

 

Thank You Guys! More suggestions welcome

 

I'd wish my sr5 6' ac rear springs would sag a little...they now show the rear of the truck slightly higher than the front, and thats with a fairly heavy factory tonneau cover. It rides like a lumber wagon. You can really feel it over speed bumps compared to what the front springs absorb. My tundra was very compliant over the same bumps.

 

Like you I carry my tools pretty constantly but even empty other than the cap it’s way too soft for anything but driving around empty. I do carry varying weights though so I went the air bag route and have no regrets. If I knew I’d have a more constant bed load then Sumo’s or an AAL would be a simpler option since air bags need monitoring.

 

Can't comprehend adding air bags or an extra leaf pack to carry 3-400 lbs of tools daily. Are we talking about the same generation rear leaf springs?

 

i agree

used them on my 4door contractor taco

they dont ride harsh
are fully adjustable .....................seldom used more than 10psi to level out
one could use a hand pump

saves the rear end as the truck rides better
bags damp out the usual concrete strips & minor potholes

cost approx $250 + 2 hour install
diy is straight foward ez

good luck

 

Second the a

 

Another potential option is the RAS... May have to unload the bed before installing and setting to hold the leaf properly.

I never heard of RAS before, looks interesting, might actually consider it.
Thanks for all the help!
