Just wondering if there is any specific sag to getting a canopy on the Tacoma long box. How much sag is expected. Has anyone countered it with stiffer springs or is that more when there is way more payload then just a topper?

I lost an inch with the OEM 3 leaf pack and a Wheeler's Offroad 3 leaf progressive AAL.

My shell weighs 220 lbs.

There's a variety of ways to remedy that issue, depending on your budget and wants/needs.
