    Wait hang on. I take back what I said. I never searched this stuff up. This is the verbiage taken directly off the wheelers off-road site:
    Designed to handle the rigors of desert racing and off road use, these super flexy springs will give approximately 1″-1.5″ of lift over stock springs.

    and FINALLY at the end of the product description reads this, and I quote: Due to removal of the factory overload spring there will be a decrease in gross max weight handling capability over the stock leaf packs.

    So the issue is not the pack, because even Ray Charles can see that it's design is not one of regular usage, and it operates EXACTLY as it was intended. The issue is either reading comprehension, or as XXXX pointing, clicking, and buying blindly.

    Those are some really good points. Sounds like he just needs a stiffer pack. The Dakar pack get 2.75 of lift and can hold alot of wieght.

    And if you had read any of this post you would realize that he didn't order online, he CALLED THEM. He told them what he wanted to do with the truck and these are the springs THEY recommended.

    As for allpro, I'm not saying they have good customer service, though they've never given me an issue i've heard about others who've had issues. I'm saying their springs are what he needs. In my opinion they would be perfectly suited for what he intended to use his truck for.

    Well, actually I did a lot of research here, in other forums as well, but mostly read about brands, not specific models. Before I "click on place order" I did click on CONTACT US, and wrote an email and asking for suggestion for what I want to, what I will do with my truck, and if there is some thing that I should buy. They told me to add libricant for my UCAs, wrench for adjusting coil overs, and other stuff like that... They told me that everything should work fine.

    When I placed order, they also have a comment box to write about the truck, uses, what you want, etc... I also filled up. So no, I did not just did clicks and order. And I'm not bashing brands just for pleasure as you think. I just want to avoid any other guy do not have the same issues as I have.

    I wish I could do that... I mean, that's what I wanted to do on dirty roads, but if you see the video, just on pavement it is impossible to drive having fun... even my stock Camry have better rear suspension.

    In the same sentence you say you "did a lot of research" and only on "brands, not specific models".

    No offense dude but that's total bullshit.

    You did not do any research and are now crying about your purchase blaming everyone else but yourself. If your looking to blame anyone take a look in the mirror.

    I'm so tired of people never taking any responsibility in their lives and blaming everyone else for their troubles. Man up and say you fucked up. It's not a big deal. No one's perfect.

    Plenty of guys run these hard and you could of asked anyone of them. If you asked some mall crawler who never uses his truck how he likes it - again your fault.

    If you truly wanted no others to go through what you did you should of titled this thread "J66 Pack not recommended for double cabs" and written a review. Did you do that? Nope.

    Your excuses are BS. You clicked on some links and web wheeled your purchase.

    No, I don't take anyshit personal, but I think you did. I had Dakar's on my previous tacoma. That's the only experienced that I have with other-than-stock leafs pack. When I wrote to the same dealer (Toytek lifts) asking for suggestion on a package that "I clicked" (as you said) before place order, and they did not answered 3 emails, so I do not bought them from them. That's why I asked for another dealer when I enter this forum. They sell daever's and other brands. I did read about good stuff about them, but I have shitty experienced with them.

    LOL at this one.... Too bad that reading is not the same thing as talking front to front. You took it the wrong way. I'm not asking for a shoulder to cry, but if you want to share yours ;)

    Who is saying about perfectness? That's why I asked the dealer about the setup before placing order! Wanna see my order invoice? They also put what I wanted the truck for!!!


    Dude, again, thats why I'm asking what I should to have to replace. Another dude wrote about the Icons 2.0... and they are on my cart, but I am still reading before the "final click".



    I wrote about my own personal bad issues with them. As well their poorly customer service. If you do not like this thread, then do not read it. Or ask a moderator to erase it. I'm sorry about hurting your feelings, truly.

    Is there is another way to buy from the web without "clicks"?

    I dont see where stock replacement is referenced on their site or any others. They might recommend it bc the lift height is relatively small i would guess.
    Also, via socalsupertrucks


    "Put a set of Deaver's on your Toyota Tacoma combined with properly valved high performance shock absorbers, and the ride quality will be enhanced beyond belief." High performance shock with proper valving....does that sound like stock replacement?

    I dont think any spring pack is specifically sua or soa designed. That is up to you and your fabricator.
