    *** this is a cross post from the Suspension page *** ...I'll let mods figure out the best spot for this question. Thank you.



    I am looking at either picking up General HDs or Dayton HDs for my 1g tacoma trd DC.
    General HDs seem to be widely used and I've read up on them quite a bit. Experiences are generally positive....Being in Canada, shipping is very expensive for Generals, and a crossborder pickup is a logistic nightmare and for that reason I am looking at Daytons.

    I have Bilstein 5100s in the mail to me. I'd like to keep the rear lift at a max of 2".


    Does anyone have Dayton HDs Leafs on their 1g? What sort of lift did you get? Any issues? Are you happy with them?

    Thank you for sharing!

    Thanks for checking in.

    I've noticed that as well. Deavers are not as easily accessible for me. the OME's lift me too much and if I remove a lift I am loosing payload. My leafs are old enough that AAL isn't an option.

    I'm focused on a HD spring to keep me going, while giving me a lift that is 1.5-2".

    Ome has them listed as 2.5"+.

    Anyone out there in the community using Dayton's?
