    12 AC TRD. 3 leaf springs. With light load and less than 1200 teardrop trailer (110 lb tongue weight) the springs will hit the bump stops. How to address?

    Thanks.

    x2........but with a quick look around you will see that the stock leafs for the tacoma....tsb or non suck and dont provide nearly what they are said to.

    Might want to look into new leaf pack for long term towing needs cuz they will sag alot.
