Leaf pack or Add a Leaf with TRD Pro Westcott Designs lift kit

Icon RXT leaf packs are something I looked at too. OME's end up sagging over time vs. ICON's not?

 

So what is the final decision on this? I’m adding the wescott lift to the front and planning on icon rear and considering going with option 3. Did anyone need to replace shocks after adding the additional height in the rear?

 

Here's what I've done so far with the weight of a RTT, Deck System, Full skids, Sliders, Rear and Front bumper with a winch: I did the OME heavy leafs in the rear, Eibach front heavy coils (specifically for the TRD Fox shocks). It sits good. I'm still on the stock tires and I have no doubts that 33's will run fine on some Method 17 inch rims, zero offset, 4.25 inch back spacing(the rims are sitting behind me in my home office as i type LOL). I could do 35's but i'll need the cab mount relocation and different UCA's. I'm still in the thinking phase about it. But I digress... the Eibach front coils and the OME heavy leafs in the rear do just fine with the Fox Shocks, especially for the weight that I can perceive from your pictures. I have the westcott lift parts still in the garage and my plan for them is to add the rear and front blocks only if over time it becomes apparent I need them(adding more weight ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Right now, the shocks both front and rear are 3 inches +/- a quarter inch from their fully extended position. Well... they were 2 inches from their fully compressed position before I put on the the OME's and Eibachs. So... whatever, right?

From what I've gathered... across the many discussions, taco buildouts, and whatnot... the Wescott Designs Fox Pro lift system is for an unloaded Taco. If you've got added weight, you need stronger springs. If you need stronger springs because of more weight... you PROBABLY want more lift while you're at it, therefore the makers of these springy thingys design them to 1) support more weight, and 2) lift it up some too.


Hope this helps.
