    Shocks are toast, truck is so bouncy like a trampoline. Suggestions on new shocks or just go with the Bilstein 5100s again?

    2011 TRD Sport 4x4:
    Current setup: Toytec adjustable coils up front (Toytec Ultimate kit) and AAL in the back. Brute Force and Warn on front. Heavy ass Leer XQ w/ Prinsu on back.

    Current situation: not looking to spend any serious money. However, if there is a front/rear setup that is superior for slightly more money, I'll go that route.

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    Thats quite a bit of weight for an AAL. What spring rate on the toytecs?

    If you arent prepared to spend serious money to correct this with 650-700lb springs and a full leaf pack. Get 5100s again until those go.

    200lbs is too much weight for an AAL?

    I think the spring rate is 620, not positive though. They are adjustable, so I don't have an issue getting the height I need, even with the added weight on the front.

    I don't do any serious wheeling anymore, so I don't think a full leaf pack is really necessary. i.e. I am not looking to spend $500 on an expo pack if I don't absolutely need it.
