    If you are getting wrap and are running your ubolt torque at the said 67 or 73#'s or whatever it is, might want to check the bolt spec. and potentially try going up to 90#'s and see the difference.
    I have the 9/16" ubolts with 7/8" nut of mine cranked at 110#'s.
    Torque spec is determined by bolt size and thread pitch. Not this Manuel guy.

    When my 2011 was new I found a "harsh ride fix". Toyota replaced the rear springs with a good bit heftier spring pack made a big difference with weight capacity and overall performance.

    Sorry to disappear on y'all - Life interferes sometimes.

    My shocks are due for replacement, but I don't think that's the issue.

    I will need "some" lift, as I had to add the Wheeler's AAL with 1.5" of lift just to bring the pickup back to level after installing my shell. FWIW, I had the rear springs replaced under the TSB for rough ride, not long after I bought the truck new, and replaced again under the recall. If I replace the springs with OEM, I'll just have to install the AAL again, so right now, (unfortunately for my wallet...) the Icon springs are looking like the best option.

    Thanks for your responses everyone.
