    Hello, I have a 97 Tacoma Extended cab V6 and an 80s FWC Grandby shortened to the dimensions of a FWC Eagle. Upgrades to my suspension are essential to make the truck safer and allow me to access places that are not on pavement.

    Will also be getting E rated tires. Camper will be on truck full time. I am guesstimating that i will be at least 1200 pounds with camper,gear, etc.

    I have done some research and what I came up with so far is:


    Leaf Spring : Old Man Emu Dakar heavy springs + Old Man Emu AAL

    Front Coils: Old Man Emu 881 Is this a good setup or is there something better?

    For something that custom and heavy, I would recommend going with shocks that are adjustable and that can be valved correctly. A lot of lift kits out there are not designed to handle something that heavy/custom. We can certainly help with that, if needed.
