    I am going to modify the rear spring pack on my 2015 Tacoma for a little lift and ride improvement over the ome add a leaf and ome rear shocks. I will retain the the factory overload spring and will install the Icon mini pack. The plan is to take the ome add a leaf out and cut it with a chop saw pretty much making a 1/4 inch lift block so it will no longer be load supporting. The next step would be to install the spacer between the overload spring and the minipack. This should still ride decent retain enough lift for 33.3 tires. The main and mini would have a small uninterrupted window of compression(daily driver or maintained dirt road) before contacting the overload and getting stiff. Next is the ome nitrochargers are coming off and going to go with a billy 5100 or the like. I have done similar work to HD ram trucks and the ride improvement is very noticeable but the trucks also work as intended with no problems. Hope this works on the taco. What are your thoughts?

    So i took the deaver and the stock overload to the chop saw and made spacers out of them. I took the deaver spacer and placed it arch up between the bottom small icon and the middle icon. Axle tube, angle shim,overload spacer, bottom small icon, deaver spacer,icon middle and top bolted directly to factory pack. Gained one full inch over the deaver add a leaf and ride is super smooth and stuffs tires nicely. Still has the ome nitrochargers for rear shocks.
