    20200801_105841.jpg 20200801_105836.jpg 20200731_190747.jpg Just a quick thumbs up for this setup on my 2020 SR5.
    I'm towing a 1400lb teardrop camper with additional camping gear in the bed.
    Easy install and setup.
    Great ride.
    Small lift in rear (about 1/2 inch).
    No noises.
    Minimal rear sag with camper.

    Much better performance than my 2016 SR5 with Firestone Air Bags and Daystar cradles. This combination rode like crap and eventually leaked.

    Still loving it? Thinking about going with these instead of airbags. Have a decked, and bed rack, and sometimes a RTT. Will also tow at times. Trying to find as much information as possible.

    these look pretty sweet. and they don't jack up the rear end sky high like most aftermarket leaf packs

    I also am still happy with the RMAS. I recently changed my drop hitch from 4' to 2" because I had to have a higher height for my camper hitch due to replacing the front jack on the camper tongue.
    I was also able to adjust the RMAS system to assist with the height difference so the hitch would line right up again.

    Have you considered upgrading your bump stops to prevent sagging/bottoming out?, Timbren does a great job assisting your current setup.

    I just got mine installed today. I wasn't able to fully get mine fully tightened to fit the black disk, because I ran out of threaded rod.

    Did you use the far most mounting hole, or did you use one of the holes closer to the spring assembly? From your picture it looks like the far most hole?

    It was difficult to get my head inside the wheel well but here is the pic.

    Hope you can see it. I'm on the 3rd hole in from the end.

    I used these on my 2001 B4000, worked great for having a motorcycle on a carrier off the back. That leverage made it sag a lot beforehand.

    One suggestion. I covered the exposed threads with some black split wire loom to protect them from corrosion.

    Yes! I see that. Will definitely open up space. I will adjust mine as well!
    Thanks for sharing.
