    I have a 2013 double cab prerunner with bilstein 5100's in the front and rear (front set at 1.75). The truck is level with my, lightly used, 3 leaf pack (truck has 3K miles) and was wondering if these are a good option to keep the same height and improve load capacity and sag. I have read all the horror stories about the OEM ones...any thoughts?

    Also anyone have experience with the non-HD version, would it be worth to replace the OEM ones with these...less sag and haul what the truck is actually rated for?

    I did some searching and found some info on the HD versions and the feedback seems pretty good but its seems there is some lift...sorry should have used the search first!!

    Now my question is more on the non HD general springs- worth switching to these- will they function better than OEM's?

    The non-hd leafs are just factory replacements. I would still go with the HD version. I just bought a pair but haven't installed them yet.

    I want to get the general HD ones because I want to get a shell. But my worry is it will lift the rear to much. I have 5100's set at 0 with the OME 883x and stock 2x1 leafs and I'm sit ten level . I have also looked at the wheelers HD. Not sure witch would be best and give me what I'm looking for .

    I bought these in April and they added ~2" to my truck. They were perfectly level with my OME 884x. With a cap you may be level with the 883's or be just a touch high but IMO these leafs don't sag very much at all even when loaded. The difference between 883 and 884 is minimal, ~.5". I think you would be fine. The ride with the OME and the General HD is nice!

    That Is good info. You have an 09 so your oem leafs where wore out . That could be why they gave you 2in. Mine being an 11 wondering if they would give me less. Thanks for your reply.
