    I'm running new (less than year old), All-Pro Expedition Leafs, gives me about a three in lift in the rear. Just added a camper and now my rear is sagging. I want to raise it back up a bit so it’s level with the front (which is 3 inch toytec lift). Called a local shop and they recommended putting in a trailgear add a leaf.

    Will putting in a trailgear leaf, which is meant to add 2inches from stock height, do the trick? Even though my truck is already above a 2 inch lift? My camper is pretty heavy, weighs like 500+lb fully loaded.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Is the camper going to live on the Truck forever ?? Just installed as needed ?? Camper just not a Cap?

    I would look at Super Springs or air bags adding a helper spring might not give you what you need then you don`t know till it is all back together and loaded

    I added a OME add-a-leaf to a deaver pack to help with weight. I didn't get any lift from it. But it did help with the extra weight.

    That picture is from a weird angle, it's actually snug right to the tailgate, so its the exact length. My Wildernest for some reason is angled outwards on the bed rail. If you look where my cab meets the bed, the Wildernest is in line with the side of the bed, but as you get closer to the tailgate, it hangs off the side of the bed rails, so that's what your seeing in that picture.

    Alt angle:

    No I didn't because it was going to be $500 and they said it may only lift it a half inch max. Sold the camper and truck runs so much nicer without the weight
