2023 Leaf Pack is Blown - Don't want a lift but need a new leaf pack for weight

My leaf pack is blown out and basically upside down now. Haha. I have a lot of weight in my truck and pull a boat a lot. (Camper shell, racks, fly rod holders, rocket box, always tons of stuff in the back of my truck.) I don't want to lift my truck, but I want to get a new leaf pack to fix the ass sagging. I have no idea about this stuff and someone said get the icon leaf pack. Do I need to get new shocks too? I don't really want to if I dont have to. If I do, I am find with bottom of the line shocks that give a good ride. I drive off road a lot but stock height is fine for me. Again, I dont want to lift my truck.

 

Deaver stage 1 at least if you have that weight in the truck at all times, not including the trailer. Heavier springs will lift the rear end without the weight in it.
It would not hurt to get a pair of better rear dampers; 5100, 5160s, etc.

Another idea is you find take-off OEM Leaf pack from someone who lifted their truck and add the Roadmaster Active Suspension kit https://activesuspension.com/products/toyota-tacoma-2005-2021

 

I’d also recommend upgrading to a leaf pack designed for your added constant and get airbags for when you’re adding more weight and/or towing.

 

I have done both and the RAS is much better since it doesn't tether the frame and axle together limiting travel.

 

I have RAS and there is zero maintenance.

 

Decided on Icon Leafpack, I'll put in Option 2 or 3 setting. Upgraded my suspension to 5100's. Might actually lift it now Annnnd because I have a travel trailer, will get RAS system as well. I don't want big wheel but just want the front to match the load that will be in the back with the Icon leaf pack....Thank you to everyone with your suggestions. Talked to Toyota and they will not replace leaf springs because of the camper and load I have put in the back. I am still under warranty.

 

Hello, wanted to provide an update. I did end up getting the Icon RXT leaf pack upgrade. Set to Option 2. I also ended up getting Bilstein 5100's and put my front on setting 4 (1.5"). The truck rides like I feel like a $40k truck should ride now. It's amazing and I am excited to see how it is when I hook up my boat. Seriously can't believe how good it rides. The OEM leaf springs are garbage and I can't believe how crappy the OEM shocks were too. It is the Sr5 but again, crazy that this truck started riding like garbage after a only a couple of years and 50,000 miles. It is what it is but now am I am back in love with this truck.

 

Glad you got it worked out. Any bed weight, any hauling, any towing, without AAL installed when brand new off the lot, and OEM leafs are scrap metal early, junk.
