Leaf Suspension Tech - Planning for my 04' Tundra

jsnow what ome shock are you running? I need to change my rears, and need something longer. I am not sure the 5115 for up to a 2" lift is what I want I thing it will be a limiting factor to my droop. What are you other guys running? Thanks.

Deaver's are the way to go I loved them on my tundra, they handled bed weight(expedition gear/RRT) and when the bed was empty it rode like a dream.

Custom made by Deaver I weighed all my gear and informed them of my oversize fuel tank and they sent me 10 leaf pack that worked perfect. The only grumble I had was with the powdercoat or final finish they put on there springs it didn't last very long or hold up well.

Hmm wonder if it really is a custom pack or the same as the 10 leaf pack they currently offer for the tundra. I think it's the g57..

I'm running the OME 60091 Nitro Sports, and I've relocated the lower mounts probably 2-3" higher on the axle tube.

Thanks for the response. I ordered the Toytech BOSS shocks that are for 0 - 3" lift. I will let you all know how they work out. My shocks were certainly acting as limiting straps in the rear. So these should be an improvement.

It's a 30 min mod to weld on tabs for the lower mounts. By far the best thing I've done for more travel.

Besides the small lift. Why do the shackle flip kit? Main reason I don't mind the factory shackle set up is it helps prevent axle wrap

What's the stroke length of your new shocks? Extended and compressed?

more droop and it's easier to adjust rear ride height as all you need to do is run different shackles.

Not seeing more droop tho. Shackles have a small roll in it. The majorities of the droop comes from the leaf spring and how soft they are. How much they will arch/bow out. Guess I'll have to see some comparisons. I'm gonna cycle my suspension right now with no shocks to figure out what fox shocks to order. I'll get measurements.
I'm not looking for both rear wheel in the air droop. I'm looking for flex droop which will give you more
