    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Gonna go up hopefully 2" from stock all around. keep the rake. Will have 6112's up front 5160's rear.

    Tried to figure out how to make a post with voting but Ive moved on lol. I have terrible "decision making anxiety" even about figuring what food I want to order when I eat out!

    So I will make it a bit interesting I hope, and just buy whatever has the most recommendations

    1) The ubiquitous RXT

    2) Dobinsons

    3)Deavor

    Im open to other options as well, but kinda figured the "call for a quote" means its gonna be ridiculously expensive.

    Im willing to pay around a grand, give or take. Truck will mostly be unloaded though I do use it to haul/ dump and occasionally tow light loads.

    Add Archive Garage to the list. They would be my choice. All options are solid but come with trade-offs.

    All the things!
    In the top right corner of your original post, there is a drop down for "Thread Tools". The "Add Poll" option is in there...

    Regardless, IMO, Deaver U402 Stage I is the top tier option... and what I have. They were about $800 pre-Covid. I think they're north of $1k now.

    Archive, Alcan, Atlas are all 3 of the top tier options.

    I've had my Alcan's for about 2 years, they are fantastic. Ride quality was improved over the RXT's and they support more weight.

    Plus Lew the owner is a Tacoma guy, I've been to their shop, all USA made.

    I think my Alcans were $1200 shipped.

    They are made to order, so they take a few weeks to get made and arrive.

    Alcan is the one of the few on this list that will customize the pack to your desired lift and weight. Want an OEM lift height pack that supports 500lbs extra? Sure. Want a 6” lift pack that supports an extra 2000lbs? Sure.

    I’ve got Deaver stage 1, just under $1k if I remember, maintained a slight bit of rake but I’ll be putting a topper on with only moderate loads intermittently.

    Deaver is local to me, 15 minutes away, I like my money to work its magic locally for a bit when it can.

    Edit, I’ve been told Deaver will make you what you want as well.

    I paid north of $1k, but that was installed in Grand Junction, CO at Alcan Spring. Not sure how far that is from you? I was passing through after getting my topper installed at AT Overland in Prescott, AZ. Lew and his team were great and got me out the door in a couple hours!

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    I'm running Ironman 4x4 0-440# leafs. I have a fiberglass cap and about 150# constant weight in back and the ride is great. $330/side and they are side specific. $729 will get you a kit with bushings and u-bolts.
