ok so here we go... I have been reading and reading searching all over the net and all i find is bits and pieces of answers... this semes like a place to try...
I have a 99 Tacoma with 3" of lift.... I`m adding a rear dual swing arm bumper to carry spare tires fuel tools, and I`m building a storage compartment system / sleeping area in the bed... i figure this will add a lot of weight like 500-800+ lbs (two spares four 5 gal fuel cans on the bumper and all my gear in the bed) EDIT: and the weight of the canopy
this is a lot of weight and will kill springs.
The simplest answer i have found is OME Dakar or allpro expedition springs... but neither is made for that much weight.
I have been toying with the idea of deavers but they are $$$$ also the option of doing a semi crazy SUA conversion using after market 4" Chevy springs...
so here is what I want:
mad cargo/weight capacity with out sag
To have 3-3.25+ ish in lift
not lose articulation or gain it
decent on road handling
little to no axle wrap
long spring life span
how was that for a first post?
thanks all in advance
Rich.
