    Hi All
    I have an 08 TRD Prerunner, 177k miles. Went of over a speed bump with 4 kids and buddy in the bed en route to a park. I go over those long speed bumps and as the rear wheels come over it feels like the bed/rear of the truck never comes back up. I slow down for the next one an it does it again, but, not as bad. Almost like it is bottoming out. Additionally, I do get some sag when I hitch up to my 16' skiff.
    Is this normal? 4 kids maybe 120 pounds each (480 pounds) and one adult around 300 pounds. New Blisteins 5100 installed last year front & back. Any help would be appreciated.

    leafs are most likely shot with that mileage, sounds like its time for new leafs or maybe some airbags...

    A heavy duty leaf pack like Dakar's might be the solution. The Toyota springs are pretty weak
