    Hey guys! I’ve been reading through builds and searching the forums but I still can’t find exactly what I’m looking for so I thought I’d just throw this question out there. As many do, when I got my 09 Taco I threw a cheap spacer lift on it without doing any research, so now I’m in the process of upgrading. I’ve already replaced my front end / struts with 5100’s, Toytec coils and Light Racing UCA’s and now I’m finally getting around to replacing the blocks in the rear end. I’m still in school so it’s kinda been a slow process saving up money for parts but I’m ready to purchase some leafs now. I know I want to go with a full leaf pack and not an AAL but I’m just not sure which pack to go with. I will be replacing a 2” block, so I am looking for a leaf pack that will give me this same 2” of lift. I will have some extra weight, (sleeping platform, roof basket, Leer topper, full size 285/75/16 spare in stock position, and bed drawers). Also I’m in Ontario Canada, so any ideas on suppliers that won’t kill me with shipping would be awesome to! Any recommendations would be awesome!

    Happy trails!

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Any decent truck spring shop is able to re-arch and add a leaf for aboot $300. Check oot B & I truck in Barrie

    The OME Dakars as well as our Wheeler's 8 Leaf are both great options.

    A little of this and a little of that.

    Good choice, especially considering the weight you have in/on your bed.
    I'm happy with my Dakars.
