    I am in the market to do a lot of suspension upgrades; My OEM Leaf springs with the Toytec AAL lift has been fine for me; I absolutely do nothing but fishing/hunting trips and the occasional mall crawling.

    I don't carry much weight in the bed; mostly empty but I do tow a car trailer with a car now and then; I'd figure some sumo springs will do the job just fine but over the years I feel like my OEM leaf springs are going flat.

    So technically I am looking for a good set of leaf springs (Light duty) better performing leafs to replace my worn OEM ones. Still looking for a 1.5-2in rear lift; Don't want to go too high to avoid any driveshaft angle issues.

    Any good recommendations out there?

    OME EL111r medium duty springs. I got 2.5” of lift, and my DS angles were cured with a CB drop kit.

    You need to add bushings and u-bolts at a minimum. They're linked when you scroll down in the description on the page.
