    I'm running a '13 DCSB Sport package and adding a @Pelfreybilt bumper on the front and soon will add the rear as well. I was looking under my ride seeing what I would need to complete the conversion and noticed, my leafs in the rear look pretty tired. They are stock 3+1 from Toyota but to my eye they're flat as Kansas. I'm looking to upgrade them to something a little stronger while staying around stock height in the back. I talked to Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road and she told me about the Deaver J66 pack but the threads I read on them didn't bode to well. I'm trying to stay fairly economical with the price but I know from experience, you get what you pay for.

    What is everyone running on their rigs and what would you recommend? I'm fairly set on 5100's on the front with Headstrong coils to give around 2-2.5 for a level look. I know if I go much higher in the back that the 5100's won't work and i'll have to go Fox or the new 6100 series. I'll be doing the install myself to save some time and make sure it's done right and will post before/after. Not looking to run bigger tires, just a better ride and performance while keeping the ability to run some weight.

    I've got a 2013 DCSB off road and tow and decided to go with dakars from Wheeler's. They were 420 something, but then you have shipping from Grants Pass to where you are. They have the option to pull the third leaf to soften and slightly lower the truck. I hear I can expect 2.75 in. Lift.

    But if you want to stay at stock height, I would go the airbag route to back up those flat springs. You just can't go off road with bags like you can without them. They tend to rip apart.
