4 Leaf TSB vs Dakar’s vs Toytec Leaf pack

Hello everyone

I just picked up this 2009 TRD off-road doublecab. Looks like the TSB 4 leaf pack recall was done. It has a camper shell on it and sags ever so slightly in the rear. I prefer the factory rake look (rear high). I am wondering if I replace the factory 4 leaf TSB pack with a Dakar or Toytec full pack, if I will get only 0.5-1 inch instead of the advertised 2 inches. Does that 2 inch lift only apply to Tacos without the TSB Done?

This truck has 138k miles on it and still has the factory yellow bilstein shocks. Was thinking of doing shocks to for a full suspension refresh. How it sits now...

Also, I am not against setting the front 5100s at .85 too if the rear pack is too high. Just curious how the packs compare to the 4 leaf TSB pack

thanks!

 

From what I have read on here the tab springs don’t lift the truck at all unless the old ones were really sagging.

 

general springs HD gives about 1.5", its a 3+1

 

So what are the options for people that only want UP TO a 1 inch lift? People who run full leaf packs or 1.5 AAL usually have their front coil overs set at 2.5 inches and the trucks are level or slightly raked. I dont want to run a block or even really an AAL. Just looking for a refresh for the rear to get that SLIGHT factory rake back

Does the camper shell weigh that much that it would make the rear sag even on a new truck? Or are my springs just tired

they look pretty flat to me

 

I'm running the old Dakars with the 3rd leaf removed. Fender to center of axle measurement is 23" with a Leer shell, 120lb RTT, bruteforce HC rear bumper with a swingout, 2 spare tires, 100lbs of recovery gear, and bolt on sliders. The leaf packs have been on the truck for over 3 years now and I tow a trailer with about 550 lbs tongue weight several times a year and it's held that height.

Measure in a vertical like from the center of your hub to the bottom of you fender to get an idea of how much this setup will lift your truck.
