    New to the forum and doing suspension work. I've got a stock 2009 DCLB sport and the suspension needs an overhaul. I picked up some used 3rd gen TRD OR DCSB leaf springs, struts, shocks and control arms with about 30k on them. Wondering if anyone can comment on spring rates for the two setups and how they compare. Wondering if I will need to do an add-a-leaf to keep the rake in check. I typically drive with 200-250 lbs of weight in the back anyways.
