    2016 TRD sport Tacoma
    hello, I am new to the group but I have been doing some research on here for several months on old threads. I purchased a 2016 TRD sport a few months ago and I have done a few mods so far that has added a lot of weight load on the back (Decked tool box system, Full bedrack, fishing rod vaults, high jack lift, and a roof top tent). I immediately noticed the sag I have got in the back end now. Almost a 3in difference in clearance compared to the front. I think there may have been a spacer added to the front Springs from previous owners but I’m not sure (I’ve attached a pic). There is 275x70x17 on the truck now. So with all that info, my question now is what type of lift should I add to help with the load in the back. This is my daily driver but I do take it on some light trails to fishing spots very often. I want to stay around $1000. I have been looking into the OME kits. But then I have been thinking of doing a Frankenstein build and adding a 1.5” icon add a leaf with bilistien 5100 shocks in front and rear and maybe even a 1” block in the back. And then eventually adding new coils and uca later on. I’d rather do some time of suspension upgrade rather than just a block and spacer lift for clearance. Any info and opinions is appreciated.
