    Aloha! I’m about to install a DJM 3/4 kit with CalMax shocks front and rear.

    I’m also adding Hellwig helper springs in the rear and a Hellwig sway bar.

    I’m looking for recommendations for replacement front springs (if needed). The truck will primarily be used for hauling my street bikes and for hitting turns (without the bikes).

    Welcome to TW! Are you a 5 lug?? Reason I ask is I’ve never heard of any of the stuff you’ve mention. And can you define “hitting turns”, I imagine this is drifting??

    Thank you for all the replies!

    It’s a 5 lug, extra cab, base model with 18” rims (215/55-18 tires).

    No drifting, I’d just like to push turns on occasion.

    There's a whole 5-lug sub-forum. Have you checked there yet? It's not generation specific, but most of the folks who lurk in this forum have the 6 lugs which have even less in common, lol...
