    Nice. We spent Labor Day weekend last year in Lancaster and did it too. This year, that was the first thing on my list. Couldn't believe the number of rollovers. Would definitely be awesome to do one of those.

    Whoops! Did you limp it home in front wheel drive?

    Hey NJ suspension gurus, got few questions related to general suspension upgrades (or as many refer to as a lift). To make this more complicated, I also tow a loaded enclosed 6x12 v nose trailer, which causes Taco's rear end to sag. I am new to trucks, lifts, suspensions and towing...so be gentle lol

    Here are my questions and any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    1- I want to improve my stock Trd sport suspension handling, while lifting/leveling the truck approx 2.5". What are good options for such kit? OME? but which kit?

    2- Would installing the above referenced kit require me to upgrade to aftermarket control arms?

    3- what are my options for addressing the rear end sag (not a whole lot but you can see it the photo below) while towing? Should I be thinking about air bags or rear leaf helper? Or will the upgraded suspension take care of the sagging issue?

    61475826-F1F6-49FE-A7F1-5A6C5E4FD2B6_zps_0ad10986bf9c36b68f7be13d4827b830338b2c5e.jpg

    I've got a son up there! In Hardyston. Im up by the KTM dealer and kayak shop on 23 all time too. What's the deal with the tires? You saving them? Selling them? Could I borrow one for a day or two if your not getting rid of them?

    Thanks, Jim

    Yeah, compared to the TSB AAL it even handles better when towing. I wish I had a pic of the whole truck but this is with my boat on the back and it still doesn't sit bad.

    No just the leaf pack, I figured later I can do the AAL.
