    Sweet truck! I’ve been trolling old posts on this forum to figure out if I need to change the leafs or if I can get away with AAL when I get my topper in a couple weeks. Lots of awesome info on here, almost an overwhelming amount for every subject! :taco:

    Yea it gives you the option for the extra leaf but that’s imo unnecessary unless you are always carrying a heavy toolbox or a flippac etc. With just a fiberglass shell the option without the extra leaf will still be super plush and nice ride. It’ll sag a bit if you fill the bed all the way but if you only do so on occasion no worries, it has overload springs for that. I’ve had my dakars in my 04 Tacoma for the last 50k miles and they are still holding shape and riding great, I’ve ran them with a 180lb fiberglass shell the whole time too.
