    My stock leaf pack isn't holding up the extra weight of my snug top shell after 3 years(no roof rack or any additional weight). I'm sure there's a thread here about this but I don't have the time to hunt down the answer.

    Can anyone recommend a heavy duty leaf pack that maintains the stock ride height?

    Thanks!

    Edit:
    Added a photo of my flat ass leafs, is this normal or am I tripping?

    Flat is normal for OEM springs.

    The creme da la crop of leaf springs IMO would be deavers. If money is not an issue, I'd 100% get them and you can also contact them to make a custom leaf pack for your individual needs.

    as @WestCoastMango mentioned Deaver will be the best. They can set you up with a stock-like pack. Dakars are okay. They will lift the truck. After a couple years on a stock pack same thing happened with just the stock. Push some OEM kings on with medium and the rear was not enough. Added the extra leaf. Now the truck is too heavy and will be getting some Deavers.

    Deaver leafs. They have multiple stages based on your constant bed weight. Theyre expensive but you cant beat them. I have the stage 3 on mine with my camper shell, roof top tent, swingout high clearance bumper.

    Go to a spring shop and have a leaf added properly. The only way IMHO
