    Hi there!

    truck details:

    2021 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4
    I have a cbi bed rack with a RTT, shower tent and traction boards. 16,000 miles

    There is a constant weight of 200lbs in the truck bed. The truck is level as is, on stock suspension.

    The issues arise when I add all the camping gear. Water port in the side, ice chest, firewood, camping gear box ect… guessing another 150/200 lbs.

    without lifting my rear end other than to approximately factory rake, what would be my best option?

    I would prefer a leaf pack and to install it myself. The other question that I have is, with a new leaf pack do I need to go the route of extending my brake lines? I don’t want any issues when i offroad and flex my suspension.

    can I keep my stock shocks with a new leaf pack, and what pack would you recommend for my setup?

    what are some other options?

    There’s nothing abnormal about a little reverse rake when carrying a payload. I’m confused people so often worry about this. Is it the aesthetics you do not like?

    The most popular leaf packs do not require any other modifications other than maybe a carrier bearing drop kit to realign the drive shaft. The shock prevents the wheel from drooping any further than stock.
