    I have a consistent 400 lbs in the bed with my go fast camper and drawer buildout in my 2015 TRD offroad. Can get up to 550 lbs with camping gear and water. I don't do a lot of offloading. Just rocky roads in the mojave while driving slow. I don't want to lift the front end as I just had springs from a 3rd gen installed, which are a bit higher and stiffer than stock ones in the second gens. Is there a leaf spring option that will make up for the weight in the rear so I'm not bottoming out or sagging as much? My old truck had an add a leaf and the ride was pretty rough so i would prefer a replacement leaf (I've read on here that's the best option). Haven't had any luck with Icon or Deavers returning my calls. Any suggestions?

    Also, planning wheelers bump stop replacement on the rear and front to help with the bottom outs.

    Check out sumosprings. I have a pair and like the support they offer without lift. RIde can be rough unloaded but they are also easy to unscrew and screw on smaller bump stops if needed when unloaded.

    I know OP already with with a lift spring option.

    But for someone in the future whos looking for more load handling with stock height. AIR BAGS.

    Put some on my truck (Torque Branded off Amazon - Literally the SAME as leveling solutions / firestone etc) and having the ability to ride nice unloaded and air up for load is AMAZING.
