    Is there an add-a-leaf setup that won't lift the rear? I'm looking to level the front with a set of Bilsteins or OME's, and would like a heavier spring in the back for more stability pulling my camper, but I don't want the back higher when not towing.

    I do, actually, but it sounds a little intimidating. Time and money-wise.

    I’d say they’re actually less intrusive to install than an AAL.

    Sumosprings will do what you want. Get the 2016 models rated at 1000lbs and you be good.

    I can confirm, sumo springs are da bomb. I have 5100s with stock coils in front and 1000lb sumos in the back on my 07 and absolutely love it. Still flexes well off road too.

    Edit: To level it I have the front set to the 3rd setting, 1.75" on my SR5.

    All the things!
    All add-a-leafs will create lift. The additional leaf will add thickness to the leaf pack. The thickness of the leaf pack is what creates the lift.

    x2, installed the sumo springs on my 2016 OR and they definitely do the trick when towing my 18' boat or 2 Seadoo's. The rear stays noticeably higher than it did with just stock leafs.

    But not higher when unloaded, right? Which set did you go with?

    Make sure you use new U bolts, don't re-use the old ones. The threads get slightly deformed once they are tightened the first time, they're rolled, not cut. I bought mine for $30 from Wheeler's Off Road.

    Sumos take about 20 minutes on the install. Very easy.
