    Hey guys,

    I have a 2011 Tacoma DCSB TRD off-road and my rear end is really starting to sag. It seems like the leafs are slowly flattening out and I’m looking for input on what to do next. Everything I’ve read says OEM replacements are garbage and to not bother. Is that my only option unless I want to go with a full blown suspension overhaul and lift it? Any input would be appreciated, I’m not too knowledgeable on all of these different suspension setups and such. Thank you!

    I'm curious to see the recommendations here too.
    If you're not planning on lifting it, then my guess is to get another stock pair of leafs.
    A cheap option is to add the AAL, but if it's already sagging, it's just a bandaid. The aftermarket leafs seems to lift the rear up kinda high.

    imo Dobinsons is what I’d go with. They guarantee their springs not sag more than a 1/4” from my understanding. They also have constant load ratings on their springs. They will be my next purchase.

    If you're trying to go really cheap with no lift, grab a low mileage set of 3rd gen take-off leafs. It'll swap directly over.
