Are the leaves custom or are they something off the shelf like the g57's I have? I need to get another leaf or 2 added to mine.

It's probably a modified version of the g57 with extra weight capacity.

Why do you need to add more leaf to your pack and where you plan on getting them from ??

Not my truck, but a cool project I've been working on lately. Check out The Gear Shop in Calgary if you have a chance, they build some wicked rigs and cars!

Awesome work on the videos. Looks like a fun project for sure !!

They need to be re arched badly, I have the saggy butt going on and even though I have 14ish inches of travel, all but 4 or so is droop. Part of that is the geometry of the tundra but the other is the flatness of the springs. Deaver can add extra leaves to the pack. For now I am working on a airbag setup to help when loaded up since the deavers are so light.

All that being said, I love the springs. Night and day difference from stock+aal.

I asked Jeff at Deaver for 1.5" lift with 500lbs in bed on Addison's springs, which should have basically been a beefed up G57, so I don't know why its so low, but we are working on figuring it out

Just got your shackle flip kit orders. Hope you guys get the springs figured out. I'll probably be getting some once it's tuned

It looks surprisingly different with the wind deflector removed.

Can't wait for some snow wheeling

Quoting the picture just because...

haha more to come... and a video... too many projects on the go for Tamarack Media Co. (a good thing).

Colossal 2017 is already in the planning phases. Anyone going to join next year?! Who doesn't want to rip up to Canada for some epicness...

Common dude I need pictures, you know I need to live vicariously through them since I didn't get my truck done in time.
