My suspension project. HELP!

Hey guys, I'm going to be starting work on my suspension. I have an 06 TRD Sport Regular box 4x4 . So far all I have is Icon coil overs and Total Chaos UCAs. I don't want to be flamed on here. I have read ALOT about things. I'm not going to be using my truck as an off road machine, but I do travel alot of winter snow covered roads so I like the clearance.

What I need help with is what should I do with my rear end? I want 2.5 to 3 inches of lift and I wouldn't mind increasing payload a little if that was possible.. I have the TSB done on my rear leafs. What are my options? I don't want the resivoir shocks. Do I need to go with different leafs or an add a leaf? What kind of shocks would be good? Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

wheelersoffroad.com has some OME leaf springs that give 2.75" rear lift.

OME 2.75" Lift Leaf Spring Set: 375.00/pr THESE OME DAKAR SPRINGS

 

K so If I went with the OME with 2.75.... would I need different rear shocks?

 

you will have to indeed.

 

K so .. the leafs will add 2.75 inches. Which I am happy to hear. What some good options for rear shocks?? Also do I need the diff drop etc. if I'm keeping my lift under 3 "????

 

Bilstein, OME, ICON, Fox, King all have really good shocks for lifts. You don't "need" the diff drop and some say it's pointless but for the price I just went ahead and picked it up as well.

 

+1 Yea my diff drop is sitting in the drawer next to me. I did not need.
