    I recently wrote a post trying to figure out the correct options for my Taco. 200lb Snugtop, 50lb Prinsu, 220lb Decked = Daily Driver at 470lbs. + what ever is in the Decked.

    I also have a Prinsu Cab rack (50Lbs) and in August will have the SSO full plate bumper (90lbs) + Smittybilt winch. 200lbs? over the front? I'll probably go OME 886 springs and Bilsteins and in the next 6 months sliders.

    All that being said what would the difference be between the RXT leafs and a Leaf helper? My dad is worried and trying to talk me out of the RXT's because he's afraid of me voiding my warranty. I have 0 knowledge of Leaf Helpers.

    You need the RXT, the add a leaf/leaf helper will not be enough for your weight load.

    Any modifications done to your truck will void your warranty if it’s proven that it caused an issue. An add a leaf could also be considered voiding your warranty. All that weight wouldn’t make your current leaf packs happy. If it were to break, they could void your warranty due to the additional weight.

    Going with an aftermarket leaf pack would be the safest measure

    You will need the RXT at stage 3 or Deaver's at stage 3. I am running my RXT's at stage 2 with empty bed and they are perfect. A little high/firm but will manage road trips/hunting season without issue.
