    Have an 09 4x4 trd sr5 dclb. It rides and and looks just right as is. With the exception of just a bit of axle wrap when stopping

    I plan to start carrying my 750 magna (about 550 lbs) in the bed + about 70 lb of kayaks on the roof rack. The most off roading I'll be doing may be some pretty rough fire roads, mostly dry, but sometimes during a storm.

    Read a lot about sagging and breaking leaf stock leaf springs, so how do I prevent that?

    Single aal? 3 spring aal? air springs? with or without on board air pump

    Any thoughts aprreciates

    I would either get an alcan leaf pack, or air bags.

    common because of how weak the stock leafs are.
