    Hello all!

    Just bought a 2006 Tacoma, Regular Cab, 4x4, 2.7, Manual with 90k miles for $10k.

    Plan on doing a mid build:
    -Front coilover and uca (fox or king)
    -Rear Bamf shock relocation mount
    -Rear 12" shock (fox or king)
    -Leaf package unknown (taking advice)
    -285/75/16 BFG All terrain
    -Homemade box bumpers
    -Possible fiberglass front and rear
    -Possible vinyl wrap instead of paint

    Can someone recommend a complete leaf spring package for me for the following requirements?: (leaf, shackles, ubolt, sua, etc..)

    -Ability to utilized the full 12" shock travel
    -Not too rough of a ride empty
    -Carry 100-200 lbs on weekdays (work equipment)
    -Carry 300-600 lbs monthly (1 to 2 dirtbikes)
    -Tow small jetski trailer (1 to 2 times a year)

    Already replaced all fluids. Plan on getting the underside steam/pressure wash before starting the build.

    Just bought it on saturday.

    Testing out the tires at Gorman.

    Rubs like crazy on both the front and rear flares. Lots of trimming in the future!
