Air bag vs. add-a-leaf vs. leaf kit vs. ?

'19 Tacoma with ~600lbs permanently in the bed (drawer system + lightweight camper). I have about 2" of sag in the rear and find myself regularly bottoming out the highway. I do not off-road or plan on running enormous tires. I'd like to end up with 0-2" of lift in the rear and may add a leveling kit in the front to match.

Cheaper is better, but I won't laugh in the face of longevity at the expense of price. However I certainly don't need anything super fancy. I am attracted to the adjustability of airbags. I won't be doing the install myself. Any recommendations?

 

If the weight is permanently in the bed, I would think leaves would be the right choice.

 

Air bags, AAL will wear down, or full send for stage 3 deavers! BBBYYY!!!

 

Heavy leaf pack. Icon, Deaver, Alcan. I'd stay away from the Dakar heavy unless you absolutely cannot afford anything else.

Air bags are great, but more likely to fail later or spring a leak.

 

Leaf pack will be the way to go here. It's under a constant weight. it's not like the suspension will be getting rest then have weight off and on. For that airbags would help, or for towing.

 

This makes perfect sense. Thanks.

I don't want a super stiff ride, so I'm wary of anything "heavy duty." What's the consensus on the ideal leaf pack for my application?

 

Think about Helwig helper springs. One single heavy leaf on each side and under $100 pr last time I checked. Had them on my Taco and even under heavy loads never sagged past level. Easy install.
