    They are like hitting Jello rather than hard rubber. Like having Gummy Bears between your springs and frame.....:)

    I hear you loud and clear brother. And those suckers are not cheap either. But I'm glad I bought them.

    Ordered the tuff country add a leaf today. Hopefully the install will go well and I'll like the results.

    Have you ever worked with leaf springs before?

    No, I have not, but I've been watching several good videos online, and I think I will be able to do the install.

    Do you have the video from ToyTec? It is a very good one. Turn your volume up a little bit.

    Update: Just got done installing the Tuff Country add a leaf kit today.Great price and quick free shipping through Amazon. Install went well, truck sits higher in the back, but will probably settle down after a while. Time will tell if I end up satisfied with it, hopefully the empty ride wont be to rough?

    Still looks good though. At least you don't have to worry about Bro Lean when you tow or haul something.

    Yeah, after hauling oak firewood this winter, the new "recall" springs showed their weakness.

    I had the same issue with my 2005 OR. The TSB helped, for a while.

    I have them on my 2018 and love them. I just hauled 1000lbs of concrete stepping stones and measured about 3/4” sag in the rear.

    My Sumos loaded up. Its not that the rear sags but the front rises a bit. With the Sumos it sags about an inch.

    Towed my boat to the lake today. The Sumo Springs felt GREAT. Every time I hit a bump or RR tracks, it felt really good. Here is a pic of how well they hold the truck up with the boat hooked. Granted I did install 1/2 inch spacers under the leaf packs, but she sits very nice with the weight of that 20 foot boat. Before, the rear went down a good 2 inches, now maybe 1 inch.
