    So I'm finally at the point of needing to upgrade the suspension on the taco. 2015 double cab trd offroad. 60k

    Everything currently is stock. I have ran a rack, RTT, and all gear for longer trips and noticed sag and rough rides front and back. The front is knocking coming in and out of the driveway if I leave to fast. So It's time.

    We had a kid 8 months ago so the configuration is changing. Here is what I have currently installed:

    ARE Overland Topper
    Iceco vl45 fridge with slide

    We have plans for roof and topper racks, reinstall our RTT, and add in a winch and some armor. Most of our driving will be highway heading out to trails and then spending a few days on the trail. No major rock crawling or anything. The wife wants a small camper for really long road trips. (I'm not 100% sold yet) haha

    I'm looking at purchasing ( below) and was wonder if anyone had experience or think this would work for the brief above description of what we would use it for. From what I can tell it would give me around a 2.5 inch lift front and back but would I need to purchase the 1/2 spacer to prevent the lean too? Or a Diff drop too? I apologize I'm not very educated on suspension systems short from the basic functions.

    I appreciate any help. -Andrew

    Looks like a good setup for what you’re planning to do.

    Might want to get some opinions on 886/888 coils for that weight.

    Shouldn’t need a diff drop. OME has a trim packer

    Diff drop kit for sure and maybe some sumo springs if you are going to be heavy. I need to ask one question also do you have bed stiffeners if you don't you should consider them. If you do have them do they are all interfere with the iceco sliding out?

    Cause for 15 bucks and two bolts it is better to just add it while you are under there.
