    Hey guys,

    On my 2015 Taco, I have the Icon AAL and fox coilovers. I recently installed an ARE series shell and it now sags a bit more than I would like. Do you guys know of any cheap options to bring the rear back up? Something like a leaf expansion or something?

    Or would I have to drop ~500 for a whole leaf pack. Thanks

    Did you leave the overload in? If so, this won't help you carry any more weight, but I have these sitting in my garage - you're more than welcome to have them, just cover shipping. Should fit just fine in a small flat rate box. I don't have the center pins, you'll likely need new ones.

    Nah, I took the overload out, but I still have it. Would putting it back in with the Icon AAL work?

    Yeah I took mine out at first. Putting it back in fixed me right up. If you really need the extra half inch the shims will help there too. Cheap isn't always best, but it works in the interim.

    Currently running an ARE shell, will soon throw on a RTT and rear aluminum bumper.

    Dakar heavy duty packs or All Pro Expos like mentioned above

    You will need the extra load ratings especially when you add the RTT and or any other gear you may want to bring.

    I was sagging bad too with the shell and didn't want 3" of lift so I just had Alcan build me a custom pack with 1" lift for 300#... I'm excited to get them here in the next week or two (they take about 1 month)... I will let you know how they do.
