    Newbie rear suspension question. I have a truck bed drawer that I installed 1.5 years ago. Stock suspension on my SR5 Double Cab Prerunner.

    The drawer weighs roughly 200lbs and is a constant weight over the rear suspension. With this constant weight should I be considering upgrading my rear suspension to handle this load for the long term ?

    At this point I don't notice any adverse driving handling.

    Thanks in advance for the advice.

    No, you're fine. It probably rides better with the extra weight

    If not an Add a leaf is inexpensive… I get them on sale for $45 sometimes and they are easy to install/remove if you dont like the ride.

    YMMV. With a topper and a 3/4” platform I had hella sag and went with Dakars + AAL. I would at least opt for an AAL.

    You can also get your stock springs heat treated to restore original performance.
