Rear lift, just trying to get my rake back

I am having a hard time finding an answer on this. I am not wheeling, crawling, or doing any serious off-roading. I use my 2017 TRD OR for getting to the fishing, shooting, and hunting spots. I have roughly 400 pounds of crap in the bed of my truck. My truck is riding level and when I pack it down for a long weekend, it looks like a kid with a saggy diaper. Really trying to avoid bags..

What can I do now that will get me my rake back? Most likely would be doing a full suspension upgrade next winter, so I would not like to buy stuff twice. Can I get a leaf pack or a AAL now that will carry over into my full upgrade lift? It will be a super modest lift, thinking OME kit with a 1.5"ish up front and a 2"ish in the back.

 

With that weight I’d be looking at Dakars or other full leaf pack. Remove leaves or add leaves to get your desired height. AAL isn’t going to last long on the shitty OEM leafs.

I had a 3 leaf AAL with less weight than that and it sagged with just a shell (250 lbs).

 

I am not a truck guy so forgive the ignorance. Can I buy the following, remove the leaves to get the desired hight, then when I get the rest of the suspension toss leafs back in to get the new height? I have a good friend who will help me with installing and what not, just need to do the research myself.

Here was mine.

 

Yes.

 

Leaf pack.

 

You can get upgraded bump stops like Timbren or Sumo Springs. They act as passive air bags, to an extent.
