    Hey guys,

    Need help and opinions from people who have tried the different spring packs out there. Trying to determine if there is a pack out there that works how i want or go custom.

    I have a 06 prerunner with a leer cap an the rear end probably has 200-400 extra pounds over stock between the cap, the interior, and depending on load out.

    Looking for a spring that will stop my bottoming out but not be so stiff it will buck when in the desert.

    Usually camping in Barstow or ocotillo. Sometimes will hit a trail.

    Anyone else prefer high speed off roading, have a cap, and replaced your spring pack?

    How does it ride?
    Stiff. Soft, or just right?

    Estimate the weight on the rear end.

    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    I also am wondering the same thing. I have a 2011 with the stock 2+1 rear springs and want to get a shell and know that I have to do something with my rear suspension and not sure which route to go with. I don't want to lift the rear just support the wight of the shell . Any and all suggestions welcome .

    Bump.

    If you have replaced your springs with aftermarket options please comment on how they ride unloaded and loaded?

    if you have taken them in the desert or high speed fire road how it handled?

    Ok, now anyone with rear springs that aren't stock, tell us about how your truck rides...?

    In your opinion would it be better or worse with the constant weight of a cap and shit in the bed about 200-400lbs
