    Military wrap toward the rear? Is this on backwards by conventional standards??

    I am currently shopping new leaf packs and I am glad I found this post. How does it pair with Icon coilover kits? anyone have experience with that set up?

    Interested as well, I'm currently running ome mediums, I like the ride but can't take the racket from them any longer. I was looking at Icon or Deaver, but I'm open to others. I really just don't want to go through this again.

    If you don’t have any added weight in the rear I would message them on IG or by another means and ask about the rumored medium duty pack. I think Blackout had mentioned that they have one towards the end of the last thread. It’ll give you 3-4” still but will ride a bit softer. I had around 200lbs at all times since I put on my HD pack so not sure how it would ride unloaded

    I spoke with Bobby today on IG. I gave him all the details on my truck set up and he recommended a leaf pack for me. Placing my order tomorrow most likely. He’s quick at responding.

    Debating on new packs or add-a-leaf. Installing 5100s on Saturday, probably 3rd notch (1.1"). I've got a camper shell on it, and often pull a 18' car hauler trailer w/ either a ranger & 4wheeler, or a zero turn mower. So my goal is this: Get a little lift on it, but not have it look like a dog running his butt on the carpet when the trailer is hooked up.

    Debating whether or not I need to go to the 3rd notch and new rear leaf packs or add-a-leaf, or go with the second notch and leave the back alone. Not planning on anything taller than a 265-75-16 tire.

    Yeah, I'm probably overthinking it..........

    IMO either leave it alone or go with a pack. Skip the AAL. Mine didn’t ride great at all (icon 3 leaf version) and sagged out with any additional weight.

    Bumper is on, AAL just arrived today and I just installed the swingout. Excited to get the AAL in. Should be all done by end of next week.

    I’m liking this thread . Can you run this spring with the stock billies or do you need to lift everything? I don’t have a lift don’t really want a lift just hate that my trd springs are flat. I run ride right air bags at all times at 10to 20 psi at all times. Do you need a carrier bearing drop? Longer shocks in the back?

    I would call them and see what they recommend if you don’t want a lift. The setup that I am running gives around a full 3” lift even with a lot of added weight so it’s probably not what you’re looking for!

    I just went from a 2015 ACLB to a 2021 DCLB. I had sumo springs which worked reasonably well.
    Starting to evaluate options to address sag for new truck. Between tongue weight, 450#, and junk in bed I’m usually just a bit under max.
    This looks like a good option.thanks

    ordered up the 4 leaf + overload pack. pick up Wednesday. I should specify: this pack is not on their website. They're putting it together for me. super friendly and helpful folks. super stoked to pay less than 500$ Bob Jr indicated to me over the phone that I should get about 2-2.5" of lift with ~400lbs in the back. Hammer Hangers next and my suspension *should* be done.

    The difference in ride quality is nothing short of amazing. Its so much more comfortable than the Icon AAL + overload. night and day.
    This is the 4x1 HD spring for the tacoma. Giving me a solid 2.5" with about 300Lbs. Call and ask for Bob Jr. They can put something together for your needs. ATSSprings.com
