    I think the so called "bro lean" looks pretty cool if its not too aggressive. No everyone builds a truck to haul a bunch of weight or putt a RTT up. Chrome rims with a 10 inch lip and stretched tires.....yeah no.

    Pretty sure it originated in N Carolina, I've always known it as the "Carolina Squat". I actually don't see all that many around here anymore. Its popular in Hawaii too

    I'm even more oversprung on the rear. I have 360lbs of sand in the bed to soften it up to a decent level. It's just nice to know I'll be able to handle any weight of future mods. Right now though, just weight in general is needed.

    Dakar heavies or what? I have 150 in the bed full time, and about ~225 in it most of the time and the heavies are still a little stout over the bumps as compared to the fronts.

    Deaver Expo U402's (non HD) with Archive Hammer hangers. I don't know why they are so stiff, they are supposed to be fine unloaded but I beg to differ.

    Yeah, they seem pretty similar specs to my Dakar heavies. They do wear in a little with time as well. How long ago did they go in?

    About a month. I see she is a little front high now so I think it's time to pull a bag or two out and see how she rides

    Not a chance. NC didn’t even get internet until 4 years ago.

    Yeah, thats about how long mine took to settle out. Still stiff, but not nearly as bad.

    anyone know roughly how many pounds I can throw into the bed with the stock Bilsteins on the 18' OR? I'm guessing the cargo capacity of my occupants and camping gear is pushing 800 pounds. The reason I bought my Tacoma was because I had a Subaru Forester that I really liked but loaded it up with all my camping gear and by the time I reached the mountains, the subaru sounded awful. Not looking to upgrade tires and suspension yet because well..it's pricey. Would eventually like to do all that and add a voodoo rack w/ RTT

    The same as just about all the lifted trucks, the person liked how it looked.
