Smile Rear Suspension Sags w/ load which springs should I use to keep the best ride

2002 Tundra Limited with a spacer on the front coils to level the vehicle. When a dirt bike is in the rear I bottom out while offroad or dips at speed on the freeway. Has anybody used any add a leaves they liked? I do not have interest in lifting the vehicle much just keeping it level with better progressive rear leaves.

All the best,

David

On the expensive side, you could get a whole new custom set from Deaver Springs in Santa Ana, CA.

I ran into the same issue with a 2000 Tundra work truck we had. I sold the truck to my foreman and he doesn't carry quite the load we did. Though had I kept the truck I would have put either the springs that come on the 4x4 model preferably the crew cad model assuming the leafs are the same dimensions. Or that 4x4 model with the tow package to guarantee a stiffer spring. Though I just checked toyota part sales .com and OE springs are $400 a side. So with that being said I'd call deaver explain what you have and what you want and they can build it for around $500 for the set I believe.

dunno if avail as a bolt on kit - but if you only occasioanlly load the bed - an AirLift or a Firestone Airbag setup might be an option.... These are AUX air bags that probvide load support when the bed is loaded and do NOT replace the existing leaf springs...
