AAL or complete new leaf pack?

Im finally pulling the trigger on a 3 inch lift. The truck is a 2002 and has never had new suspension. I also run a camper shell so the rear leaf springs are almost completely flat. Would add a leaf get me to 3inches with the camper shell and old leaf springs? Or would I need a completely new leaf pack?

 

New leaf pack all the way. Dakars or AP expos. Stock leaf pack is weak and an AAL doing all the lifting won't last long.

 

Thanks! Also I'm still trying to decide what brand to go with for the lift. Do you have any recommendations for that?

 

OME dakars or All Pro's for sure. AP is currently running a free shipping sale for the 4th if that makes a difference

 

Ill take a look at those! I've so far mostly been looking at OME and Bilistein. How does all pro compare to those?

 

If you are gonna wheel, and if you can afford it, some good adjustable coilovers so you can adjust your ride height. King, Fox, ICON. At the very least some bilsteins.

 

I don't necessarily wheel very often, but I do live on a gravel road. Would bilistein do well for that?

I put this package on my truck with 3.5 inch CST spindles and icon upper arms. The coil is set to the softest setting and you get the lift. You can run up to a solid 33 inch tire if desired. I love the ride quality.

 

Would that work for my truck though? It looks like its for a second gen

 

You could run the same concept with a spindle and an adjustable coilover just for your generation Tacoma. The ride quality is amazing.
