    New to me Tundra 4.7 and is a 2002. Tried to haul some gravel a couple days back. I stopped them at 800 lbs because of how the bed was settling so fast. Did a slow drive home and seemed every ant hill it was hitting hard. There are 3 leafs total on it. Did someone remove some for a easier ride maybe? My Taco will haul as much as I had on it.

    Dog, camper.
    My 06 came with a stock 4 leaf pack. 3 main leaves and an overload. I added 2 more to haul a truck camper and it carries it just fine. Not sure if the tow package makes a difference.

    Thanks
    Deathbysnusnu I am thinking someone wanted a truck that rides like a car. Now to figure out what springs I need. It will be used as a truck and I am not kind to them. I trap in Mississippi on dear leases and the 2 tracks can be real rough at times. My 98 Taco has developed a nasty habit of the lower ball joint has separated a couple times as well as sheared off once as well.
