    When I bought my truck, the previous owner had already installed a Toytec Boss lift. I don't know much about these. Does it include new leaf springs? The truck sits pretty level now, but I'm afraid if I load too much in the back, it will squat and be nose-high. I'm thinking about just lowering the coilover a bit in the front the get the rake back.

    Also, I'm planning to get a rooftop tent in the near future, so would it be worth it for me to look at getting dakar leafs? Or will mine hold the load OK?

    Arb front bumper, warn winch, All Pro rear bumper, OME up front, OME and All Pro Standard in Back, ARB locker, 34 x 10.5 KO2's, 17" Level 8 Trackers, and fancy single piece driveshaft.
    Basically, the prior owner could have done nothing to the rear leafs, added a leaf, or put in a new spring pack. You'll have to figure that out before you can get a good answer to your question. If you posted up pictures of the leaf pack, somebody online could tell you. Also, Toytec hq is up in Thornton somewhere. If you drove by they could tell you for sure.

    The stock springs won't carry much weight. The RTT wouldn't affect you too much, but all your camping gear would. IMHO, the Toytec Boss is a decent quality lift. There are two versions, one with a 2" shock and a 2.5" coilover that is more adjustable.

    Just noticed you also have supercharger. Nice! Now I'm guessing you have the better of the two Boss lifts. Check out their website, you should be able to identify which lift you have. Figuring out the rear spring requires pics or a visit to Toytec.

    Awesome, thanks man! I'll try to get some pics of the rear suspension. I'm guessing it's the better of the two though, because it has an adjustable coilover up front.
