thanks, that’s helpful. Do you have that with stock shocks/struts?

 

wow!!! I would not have guessed that. Nice! My truck only has 88k miles but the ones I replaced were leaking.

 

No the stock shocks aren't long enough for a lifted rear. I have the Icon 2.0s, good for up to 3" rear lift

 

I’ll probably just AAL with new leaf packs and start there.

 

Shocks.

We don't use struts.

That doesn't answer the question though; coils and leaf pack...those 2 items support weight.

Shocks dampen your ride.

 

My bad. I thought the front was struts. The coils have about 88k miles on them so not terrible but they are original.

I’ll likely do new leaf packs with a AAL

 

Naw, you're good.

Fronts are coilovers; consists of the front shock and coil spring, but assembled as a coilover.

I don't know who or what people use to obtain factory height/load up front but for the rear, General Springs is highly regarded as an OEM replacement.

They even offer an HD replacement which is meant to constantly support a bit more payload than the OEM replacement.

When a leaf pack, or coil spring wears, you begin to lose ride height over stock. Replacing those items will 'lift' your vehicle back up to stock height.

Just a thought.

I've helped 2 other members install a set of General Springs leaf packs into their trucks and they've been happy with them.

 

Nice, I'm heading down tonight till tomorrow. Also Just found this. do on the fence about getting it.

Since you’re familiar with the General Springs, if I got the HD ones, could I omit the AAL and be okay for what I described?

 

Ahhh shit

HOOD SKEWP

 

Correct, you won't need an AAL as the HD pack is meant to handle more.

I've never had an AAL though so I'm unfamiliar with how much they really help with payload, or know how worn your current leaf pack is.

 

That's all the way down past me lol

 

Shhh, he ain't gonna visit you

 

I guess that would make us even, we didn't get to meet up when I was in Tahoe last time lol.

We three still need to wheel down here sometime

 

A Dorkle fixes everything

 

But then it'd be a 4R get-together with a Tacoma tagging along

Let's find you a 4Runner.
