    most part stock 06 TRD sport double cab with long bed
    Recently bought a 2006 Tacoma trd sport long bed double cab. This is my first "truck" per say, and will be my last. Last because I love it! I'm never getting rid of this truck! I was always towing my boat with an full size suv and worried this would cry when towing my boat, but it handled like a dream! As expected the acceleration and braking suffered a bit, but all in all very pleased with it! I'm looking to put bags on the leaf springs to decrease the sag when I tow, maybe someone has some suggestions? Had to do some off road driving after heavy rain, and the 4x4 handled the mud like a pro! Spacious and pretty heavy duty! Also Thinking of leveling it, any suggestions on leveling kits or maybe small lift kits? Love the truck!

    Nice truck and congrats! I have the airbags in my 12 and I would highly recommend them. Easy to install, easy to use with a small portable bike pump, and stabilizes the truck when towing no matter the weight. Because I keep 7 to 10 PSI in the bags at all times I put a 1/2 spacer from Toytec to lessen the rake (1 to 1 1/2 inch difference now front to rear). I leveled my old 2003 and wasn't a fan when towing especially at night cause I felt I was staring at the sky.
