Saggy springs

Toyota blew it when it came to leafs. I have a 3 pack with an overload and 1 inch lift block. Coupled with bilsteens 2" lift front and back. Rear springs are flat and almost sagging the opposite direction. To put a torch add a leaf in I am afraid would put to much pressure on the top spring and could crack it. Thoughts? Thinking just a set of air shocks to take up the 1/2 inch lift I lost back there and screw the springs. Can't justify a leaf kit at almost $1200 cdn. Thoughts?

 

Add-a-leaf is a bandaid and it will sag in months to almost the same point. Air is an awful way to gain sag bag as you'll put all the load on the bags which are meant to help, not do all the lifting.

You need rear springs, don't go oem, there's places like Standans in Calgary that make springs and are cheaper and can be made a bit beefier to achieve lift.

 

Yeah you gotta replace the whole leaf pack. Been there, trust me there is no better option. Unfortunately we get screwed on pricing in Canada. But as bad as it is, DO NOT CHEAP OUT. I know OME and Dobinsons look appealing with their lower cost. I thought the same thing years ago and bought dakars... Worst mistake out of any mod I've done. Don't fall for the trap. Cheap leaf springs are all shit, full stop. Last you want is to spend $1200 on leafs just for them to ride like shit and then you can't sell them. Ask me how I know...

Icon RXT at the very minimum. But honestly just bite the bullet and order Deavers from Overland Outfitters. Yes they are expensive af. But the ride quality alone is worth it. Buy once, cry once. My truck drives like an SUV now and can handle much more weight before sagging. LTL freight shipping is your friend to avoid crazy courier costs.
