    I have recently realized that my rear leafs on my 2011 DCSB TrdSport are pretty much shot... It looks like the previous owner never did the TSB upgrade so I am stuck with sagging 2 leaf+rebound. The back end of the truck looks low and I need more carrying capacity for a topper. SO the question is, do I do a 3 leaf progressive AAL like the Toytec Mini 3 leaf, which seems cheap, but can you do an AAL when you current leafs are already sagging like this? Will it make it better? Or should I drop the $550 on the OME EL111r Spring pack? IMG_1078.jpg IMG_1095.jpg

    I have been looking for both, and I do find a lot of TRD OR Take-offs and wondering if those leaf packs might be good to use. Were you referring to finding a used OME leaf pack or an AAL?

    They are all the same I believe all the way up to the new 2021 Tacoma. OEM Leaf Pack, I don't believe a single AAL will help you much.

    Interesting... I did find someone selling a TRD Off Road take off with full leaf pack and front coils/shocks for $400, thinking this might be the best option, just not sure if it fits etc. I really just want the ride height to be solid and for it to be as factory/stock as possible. Seems like using a TRD OF kit/leaf pack makes the most sense. - I am from Vail, CO - https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/westminster-fs-2016-tacoma-trd-off-road/7200925270.html
