    285-27-70 Tires with just the lame 3 and 1 blocks... GFC on the back
    Gen 3 17' Tacoma TRD Off Road DCSB
    Installing Bilstien 6112 with the 600# Coilovers and 5160's in the rear
    Will have 265-70-17
    Always have my GoFastCamper on the back which is roughly 275#

    As a daily driver, not much weight other than the GFC
    I do camp a lot with the normal gear for trips and also tow a 1250# Drift Boat and Trial 90 shuttle bike and am considering a half bed storage drawer system that I'd make.

    Was recommended a Icon progressive leaf pack, but don't know if that will be enough.. i think I'll want 1.5 inch of lift to get some rake and a weight of 500?

    Not set on what height adjustment.. but hearing the 5/6 will give about 2 inches in the front but I'm also contemplating 4/5 so will take any pics or recommendations!

    Trying to install this all ASAP, so hope I can get some help from the kind Tacomaworld folks.

    Deaver U-402 stage 3 or Icon RXT leaf pack Option 3. They're both pretty comfy overall even when not hitting the max weight

    I would get the Icon RXT leaf pack, install Option 2 and if you need more go to Option 3.

    I carry a high clearance rear bumper,spare tire, 2 gas cans and high lift plus other stuff under bed cover. Deavers are very comfy at stage 2 and still have plenty of grunt for the tent and our camping gear.
