    Well this is officially the first post I've had on these forums
    I've had my tacoma for 2 years now and I must say, I am a very pleased person. Truck just grows on me every time I ride in it. I deffinatly have an...addiction in the development.

    So, as far as my problem. Well, the other day I was pulling a trailer that must have been...a little heavy on the tongue. Drivers side leaf sagged right out, and one of them sheared right in half.
    I have been looking around online (mostly these forums) for a while on which leafs to go with. I am thinking either the ome, or all pro. I like the prices of both, the STEALERSHIP gave me a ridiculous price for one leaf (565$).
    I just recently had a lift installed on my truck. It is called a rancho quick lift. As far as I know, there is a .25 of an inch spacer in the front, accompanied by a longer "shock". And just longer shocks I do believe in the back as well. Now these shocks are adjustable from a setting of 1-10 for stiffness (rs9000) model I believe.

    I don't really wan to lift it much anymore because I'm not sure if its really safe, or what else is required to even it out. I wouldn't wanna sit that high in the back and only 3 inches up front.
    I just want some opinions on what way You would go, and obviously why. I have phoned wheelers off road once this week and sent Dan an email as well. No word back from either so...

    Can I get leafs that are stronger but still keep my factory height at the back? And if not, what would I need to do to even it up front? I know I could do a spacer lift but I think that would look like shit. I'm open minded to getting a better setup up front as well. Just want some advice and help here guys.

    I drive a 2009 tacoma TRD. Few upgrades. Auto trans.
    I guess ill show off my baby

    No , I think you are thinking about the OME Dakars

    The Wheelers HD pack lifts around 1-1 1/2" I believe

    Thanks for the link fellas. Hopefully my current shocks are long enough to still fit
