    3” allpro leaf springs; Bilstein 5100 shocks all around; thrush welded muffler back system; deck plate mod; 1.5” wheel spacers; rear led bumper light pods
    I have an 03 prerunner and the leaf springs have gotten pretty worn out over time and the axle wrap is bothering me now. i put some helper springs on and they bandaged the problem for a while but it's finally time for a new leaf pack. i'm looking for a pack that is heavier duty than the stock springs without giving me a bunch of lift, maybe 2" max. i looked at the all pro expos but it looked like they lifted about 3 inches and i don't want to have to lift the front end of my truck. do any of you have any recommendations for a some leaf springs like this? ive searched around and can't find anything. thanks

    I installed HD springs on my 09 AC and am pleased with results. I think OEM is rated for 1200 LBS. The HD leaf pack are rated for 1600 LBS
