    A few weeks ago I came out to my truck and some A**hole must have hit my truck on the passenger side rear bed and fender. I was going to get it fixed but I figured there’s no point because I’m looking to do a rear HC bumper and the affected area will be chopped anyways. The bumper is 125 lbs without the swing out which is the option that I’m looking at. I wanna keep the suspension as stock as possible seeing as how this isn’t going to be an off-road truck. (I have an FJ for that. I’m not to familiar with leaf packs and AAL’s.) Having a 125lbs on the rear of the truck is definitely going to cause a little sag. I wanted to get some opinions on what the best bet would be to bring the truck back to the factory height so I can maintain the rake. Thanks in advance

    Add a leaf option will be cheapest. Putting in a new leaf pack like Dakar or deavers will be more $.

    Why high clearance if no off-road?

    At some point I will but as of now it’s just going to stay a street truck. Mainly to chop off the part of the bed that got dented. Plus the wife likes it so it’s a win win in my eyes lol

    Lol it’s a great feeling!
    I was on there website looking. Just not sure with option is going to yield me the best ride and maintain the factory look. I’m thinking a 1.5” lift in the rear should compensate for the weight on the back just don’t know whether I should do an AAL or a full pack

    Deaver and Alcan make custom packs.

    You could chat with marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she can answer your question.
