    as mentioned above, you're gonna need more than the coilovers and shocks to complete your kit. kings are amazing, i have the 2.5s with resis and adjusters, but they'd only do so much, not to mention i needed to get UCAs to help with the full extension of the coil overs, and new leaf springs which improved the ride so drastically that it feels like a different truck! this is the way it should come from the factory.

    Keep the SPC, they are the best.
    Look at the Icon leaf pack.

    Depending on what/if you are paying for installation you can do it in steps. Also what kind of weight you are rolling around with.

    If you have any plan to have a campershell/bedrack/tent/drawer system etc I would probably just go straight to option 3.

    I did CMC > 285/75/16s > Wescott 1.5" kit on the front & Icon RXT pack (option3 on the rear). I'm still in spec on my alignment and it's a pretty economical option that I can keep/resell in a future setup.

    Going to roll like this for the foreseeable future, but if I had an unlimited budget, I'd do kings or Fox 2.5/2.0 with adjusters.

    With no weight in the rear you are definitely going to want option 1 or 2. I had option 1 for a couple months and it felt awesome with about 150-300lbs in/on the bed. Went on a weeklong trip and put like... 700lbs on it and it squatted it down to 1" in the rear.

    Similar weight on the stock springs made it feel like a turtle. The RXT pack really made the truck feel lighter... somehow.

    In between switching setups I had option 1 with no weight for a couple weeks and it felt too high sprung.

    Option 1 felt better with a little weight. I never went option 2. Now I run option 3 because I have an RSI cap and BAMF steel dual swingout HC rear bumper.

    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone know how many leaves a 2019 TRD Off road OEM leaf pack has ? Is it 3 or 4? Thanks! trying to buy the Timbren rear kit and they actually ask this question. Not sure if the TRD came with a rear option but I doubt it. I do have the trailer package unless it was standard equipment. Thanks for listening!

    So what’s the difference between the part number 51101 and 158505 they look the same to me. I’m just making sure I’m getting the right ones

    SPCs are not the best, don’t fool yourself. They’re great if you don’t off-road a bunch

    Dakar HS rear pack here with ToyTec BOSS Aluma series and very happy with the setup. Great price point and Toytec is fully Yota-centric.
