New leaf pack vs upgrading stock leafs

Observer
The vehicle is a 2012 Tacoma Off Road.

I spend a lot of time on sand and find the stock springs wrap a lot, even if I granny the throttle. I'm hoping to avoid building an anti wrap device, but I'll make that call after installing a new set of springs.

Progressive is the key here

Progressive is the answer here. Many thin leaves working together you get the same result as a thicker leaf. During the first or beginign cycle of a leaf or many leafs you have less in play so it offers a smoother ride. With a harsher hit or more of the cycle being used you have more leaves or as they are compressed together they are thicker and offer more resistance. Progessive rate can't be gained nearly as well with less thicker springs. More is more here. I have used the Deaver on a Jeep CJ and I could not believe how much better it rode on and off road. These jeeps are NOT known for a good ride until you doing something like this to them. I'd go with a new leaf pack with many leafs.
