I have a 1989 Toyota extra cab with a Wildernest that I picked up last year. Congratulations on your purchase. I have used mine about a dozen times since the fall purchase and love it. As far as suspension, I started out with stock, flat springs and the Wildernest only made it worse. I was short on cash (and still am) so I ordered extended shackles to level the truck. Don't do this as it rode crappy with the flat springs. I have had Old Man Emu medium duty springs for a couple of months now and love them. I wasn't looking for much lift and the medium duty springs provided what I was looking for lift wise. I am about a half inch higher in the rear now and am mostly happy. The springs ride way better than before and I would recommend them (and have) to anybody. I have yet to upgrade my shocks due to finances but I am pretty sure that if you use the Old Man Emu shocks; as I hope to do soon, it will be a great riding machine. I do wish I had gone with the heavy duty springs as opposed to the medium duty as I carry a bit of weight in extra gear (camping gear and recovery gear) as well as a swing out tire carrier that also carries 10 gallons of water or fuel. The Wildernest alone weighs 350-400lbs and that is what the medium duty springs are rated for. I will be adding another leaf to make my springs the "heavy duty" version (as well as Old Man Emu shocks) before summer. I went with the medium duty because I wanted to make sure I didn't spend money unessesarily and have a suspension that I paid more for, only to remove a spring from the leaf pack down the road. I am glad that I went this route, but I only did because I do all the work on my truck myself and it is no big deal or labor costly expense to swap a leaf at a later date. If you are paying for the parts and install I would go with the heavy duty springs from the get go. I think you may set about 1" high without your gear but loaded you will settle close to level. I consider this a very good setup for your "offroad motorhome". Enjoy your purchase, I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get out and "adventure RV" again.
