    So I have a stock suspension 18 TRD sport, I put a bed rack as well as a tent in the rear and now it looks like it is sagging a little. The front clearance from tire to wheel well is 6.5 in and rear is 6 in. I am trying to decide if I want to do AAL or air bags. What are yalls opinions?

    Can't go wrong with any, but I'd do AAL.

    More appropriate measure would be center of hub till bottom of fender
    I’ve heard of people running bags, but coming from a car background - static over bags anyday.
    I wouldn’t want to deal with possible air leaks/rupture

    if you are wheeling go add a leaf or full pack. the full pack is the better option but a lot of great add a leafs can get you going. The Air Bags are good for a lot of towing. Firestone Rid setup would be the way to go if you need it but if your wheel a lot you generally will not see it and tend to not last.

    Check out sumo springs .. I think that the way I’m going to go . I was thinking air bags, but I don’t want deal with leaks and frozen airlines . I’m off-road a lot and in cold weather 6 months of the year . Add a leaf will stiffen the ride which I don’t want .

    AAL is only beneficial for new springs, worn springs will make the AAL work harder and fail sooner.

    New heavy pack or bags.
