    Hey fellow Taco owners, appreciate any ideas..

    I have a 2019 TRD Pro, with Accutune's stage 4a setup (Fox 2.5 DSCs). To compensate for a high rear end (Deaver leaf pack, stage 3s), my front shocks are adjusted to 22" in length- which is 1" over max recommendation according to Accutune. The preload gives me about 1" in additional height, which helps balance out my truck (at least aesthetically, front to back). The ride is a bit rough for my liking, but my hope is that once my front bumper with a winch arrives, along with CBI's high-clearance rear bumper w/dual swing outs, the truck will ride smoother than it currently does. I currently have an RSI canopy, rack, along with a 140lb RTT, fridge, and usually about 20lbs or so of water with me. The weight is obviously not enough.

    Will the additional preload cause long term damage to the suspension? I do have the option of backing off the collar to lessen preload- lowering my truck. I would then swap out my stage 3 Deavers for stage 2.. and hope that I would be happy with the stage 2s when the added weight of my bumpers and winch arrive.

    My only other option is to keep the stage 3 leaf pack, and load my bed with weights (a bit crazy to me, but actually recommended by Accutune). The weights in theory should help with the ride until my stuff arrives.

    Appreciate any thoughts, especially from those that are in a similar situation. I can't be the only one waiting for gear with a suspension upgrade dialed in for more weight!
