    Is this everything I need?
    https://sdhqoffroad.com/collections...rrent-toyota-tacoma-suspension-system-stage-2

    I am coming off of a 2012 sport with 2.5 spacer in front and 1.5 block in back. Ride wasn't horrible but i want something smoother with my 2017. looking to spend near 2k (preferably under). New truck is going to have a camper shell this week. I carry roughly 500lb of tools in back daily. Mostly highway miles / 5% off road. Am i on the right track? or am I about to make the wrong choice? Help me out before cyber monday is over please haha.

    or is it worth it to spend the extra thousand and put fox shock coil over on front and fox shock on back with dakar leaf spring pack? is there a $1k+ worth improvement in drive? :annoyed::annoyed::annoyed::frusty:

    I am still a little foggy on the rear leaf situation. Do you think I’ll be good with aal or should I replace the whole kit with new?

    Go kings or fox’s they are more but better. You will cry once. As for the add a leaf it’s a quick fix to a lift. It will get you the lift and will look good but with 500lbs of tools and a camper shell she’s going to sit low. Icon is easy to go to cause it’s a whole kit where fox and king u have to part it together. It’s a little more daunting but in the end you will be happier.

    save the money and spend more also buy a quality leaf pack.

    I have an Icon setup and it’s been perfect. I’m in the desert and go on trails almost daily just as part of daily driving. Their customer service has also been great to me. @Icon_Adrian has always answered my questions no matter small they have been.
    Icon get a lot of hate on this forum, some of it warranted but the vast majority of it not. Most members here will instantly recommend King’s And when you ask why they’ll say “Kings because Kings” because mob mentality is real.
    Fox, Icon and King all make good stuff. Icon fit the needs of my truck the best so I went with them and have had 0 regrets.

    For the record OP, I have no dog in this fight. Like I said earlier, King makes AWESOME stuff. I just went with what I went with because it suited what my truck was built and used for the best.
