2 inches rear sag in my truck, dealer says it is within specs.

Took it to service, because with my measurements the truck is sagging on the rear by 2 inches. measured against 3 new OR on the lot. dealer says it is within spec and they want me to bring it when the field engineer visits in a month for his opinion. Also said that my 265/75/16 tires might be throwing it off???wtf. I have no Idea what to do here. No towing and no load in the bed. Anybody with a similar experience?

 

The factory leafs have had this issue for a decade.

If you get replacements, they'll still be the same crappy OEM leafs.

I'd just buy an aftermarket solution and not a continuance of the factory problem.

 

Toyota leaf springs do this. Known issue. Some folks even get Toyota to replace for free. But they all sag eventually.

Aftermarket leafs are the way to go.

 

Do the aftermarket leafs help with sag under load? My truck sits fine without load, but a mere 200 lbs of potting mix will squish it down. My Kia didn't even sag this much with an equal weight in the trunk....

 

Yes.

 

I'd call Dan at Wheelers Offroad or talk to Marie at Headstrong if you're interested in a replacement leaf pack.

 

Most definitely. My Dakar leaf packs don't begin to sag at 400lbs even.

 

Dan is gone, man.

what leaf packs are generally recommended?

 

Fuck. Nobody tells me anything.

Well in that case, Call Stephen at Wheelers

 

Depends on what someone wants to achieve.

 

OME Dakars seem to be really popular. I just received some myself!

 

I was just creeping but ill take some free advice. Occasionally hauling bed fulls of wood rounds, also 5-7 multi day camping trips a year with three people and gear/extra fuel/water. I've thought about leaving stock ride height and adding sumo springs to prevent squat/improve handling under load (but understand they can make the back end a bit harsher). Would a replacement leaf pack, besides lifting the vehicle, be any less harsh than sumo springs when not under load? I don't roof top tent or have a camper shell so often my bed weight is just empty Copenhagen cans. I just hadn't heard of the stock leafs going to shit that quick but believe it. And I understand that ride comfort is subjective, but I thought I'd ask.
