    So I think I’ve fallen into the “I’ve read so much info, I’ve now confused myself more” category.

    I have a 2020 TRD OR 6mt, mostly stock. Outside of creature comforts in the interior, I have a set of 0 offset 16x8 rims with 265/75 tires. I don’t do any crazy wheeling or rock crawling. In the summers I drive a lot of FS roads and do go on a few snow wheeling adventures in the winter. Mostly until my friends and I get stuck and then we camp out for a few days. So in the winters I do carry a few extra hundred pounds in the bed between recovery gear, chains, tools, food, and my camping gear.

    I’m set on going with the 6122/5160 setup and a 2” up front lift with 1.5” (ideal) to 2” in the rear.

    So here’s my dilemma. Leaf springs. Doesn’t look like there’s much option for 1.5” lift outside of either adding blocks or an AAL. I’ve read neither of those are a great option. So as far as a leaf pack goes, are there any aftermarket packs that offer 1.5-2” lift and maintain similar load rating? It sounds like the dobinsons L59-110-R would be a good option for me, but also unsure if they’d be too light for my winter adventures.

    Additionally, I have purchased the ecgs bushing and carrier drop plates, durobumps, in preparation for when I install the lift. This is my first time lifting a truck, so it’s all new to me. I’m used to lowering sports cars ‍♂️

    Is there any other items I might need or should consider?

    thanks!!!

    Alcan custom leaf springs. They can do whatever height and load rating you are looking for. The website could be better but they are VERY helpful over the phone.
