    What's up everyone! I have been thinking about upgrading the factory FOX suspension on my 2019 TRD PRO. Now, before you give me grief about owning a PRO and asking that, I've read all the forums and have even spoken with Eibach about their Pro kit for the TRD PRO. I have lots of weight on my truck including front bumper with winch, roof rack, bed rack, rock rails, rooftop tent, etc. I have a spacer lift on my front suspension already and an add-a-leaf in the rear. I'm looking to find some heavy duty rated springs that will handle all the weight and help add some clearance/height to the suspension for overlanding most terrain. I'd like to keep the suspension and plan on adding the heavy duty deaver leaf pack in the rear. I am running 285/70/17s and have a -25 offset wheel. I have a cmc and have already cut/heated the plastic and modified the pinch welds as well. No rubbing at all with the setup I have. I'm more concerned about performance and reliability of the spring with the spacer added. Open to suggestions from others who have experienced this or have made modifications to their PROs. Thank you!

    Toytec has 700# coils for the trd fox coilovers It's a 2.5 coilover so essentially you could run any 3" diameter coils. Just depends on length and spring rate you want.

    Thanks!!!! That kit looks great and might be what I'm looking for! Eibach told me their springs weren't really what I needed, which I appreciated the honesty. Appreciate it @Strictlytoyz

    I just came to say Deavers for the rear, but looks like that was already your plan. If you are HEAVY, I highly recommend the Deaver U402 Stage 3 Expedition springs. I run stupid heavy and they are doing amazing. Had them 5+ years now. 3 years with AT Habitat and buildout, and now 2 years with the Scout Yoho.
