    Hey Guys...
    I need some help here. I did some suspension work on my 2018 Tacoma 4x4 Offroad. Icon Billet uppers in the front with King coilovers. In the rear I did King shocks but haven’t touched the springs yet. This is where I’m stuck and looking for a reccomendation.

    The front end lifted about 3” and the rear is stock height. I’m looking to raise the rear about 1.5”. I don’t want to go higher than that.

    90% of the time I’m driving around unloaded completely but once a month I go dirt bike riding and haul usually 2 bikes (around 450-500 pounds).

    Can I get some suggestions on springs. I looked at some Deavers and they told me the expedition line would raise the rear 3”+. I’ve heard bad things about the J66 which would get me an ideal height. I’m trying to avoid jacking the rear end way up.

    Any suggestions would be awesome. I’ve also thought about airbags but not sure about those.

    You can always call Deaver and have them make you a pack based on what you want.

    If you’re looking for a small lift and never haul heavy stuff all the time and just the dirt bikes, then look at the AAL. I have the same setup at yours but with the Icon 3 AAL with overload out. Rides pretty good and evened out the lift. I was just under 2 1/2” in the front until my bumper, now I have to readjust
