Need a Spot

The suspension on my Pickup(stock) is starting to sag and I can really feel it on speed bumps and dips. It feels like my rear end is getting airborn.

Any good suggestions on suspension kits? Also, would it be worth it to look into a mild lift while I am at it?

coils over the rear axel do great for the money.mount them over the bump stops gets out the sag and adds about 1.5-2".gear installs site has good pics.

Roll Me Over

adding another main leaf will also give you lift and can be done rather cheaply, usually under $30. I like to use the first leaf down from the main leaf from 56" Chevy spring pack, and insert it between the Toyota main and the second leaf. To do this you may also need 2 new center spring bolts if your oem ones aren't long enough to accomodate the additional spring.

More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
