In this video, we show you guys how we fix the back end of a Tacoma that is sitting lower than the front. The reason for this fix is to have the rear higher than the front so that when the bed is loaded with gear it won’t sag even more.
The Tacoma is lifted in the rear by a leaf pack but not all leaf packs are the same. We recommend looking at their weight rating when choosing. Deaver is a brand that has been around for centuries so we really like using their products. We also like using Icon’s RXT leaf pack as it is adjustable.

I went out and looked at my 2019 TRD PRO TUNDRA and my leaf pace is strait noticed the sag after I added a A.R.E insulated cap/shell. what pack would you recommend ?
Thought my leaf springs were going out. I use OME on my Taco, never knew they were a noisy product. Thanks for the info
Who makes that hard top?
I do some towing as well, but I also off road. I considered bags but am concerned about them interfering with wheel travel when needing to articulate. Any thoughts on this?
The front looks more lifted as well. Anyone else notice that? At 7:16
Yes the brake lines are available on their website
What fender liners are those?
Too much junk in her trunk haha
I had a '84 4Runner. A 135 pound generator caused sag when transporting. I changed air adjustable shocks with a single fitting. If I recall correctly, adjusting the ride height on that threw the alignment off. Does adjusting the ride height with this setup effect the alignment?
I tow a travel trailer with my '18 Tacoma double cab, long bed. With about 350# tongue weight, and an additional couple of hundred pounds in the bed (generator, fire wood, etc.). I went with blue Sumosprings. I had Helwig air bags on a Tundra, for towing a 28' TT, but found that they often needed the air adjusted, the Sumo's, on the other hand have been maintenance and trouble free. They have not affected the ride while not towing, and got rid of any sag or squat while towing…
I just added the sumosprings in my 3rd gen Tacoma plus I added Hellwig leaf to my stock suspension. it worked out good no more sagging my truck is much stiffer on the road easier to control the downside is that it's a little bit more bumpy to but it's not a big deal
what the wheel specs on that? looking to get rid of my stock silver ones is reason why i ask? but thats a good thing to do to mine as well.
I recommend daystar airbag cradles and tanks. The first thing I did was install my ARB onboard air compressor, then airbags, but I had to put on daystar cradles on to increase wheel travel, and keep the bags from ripping. I had them hooked up to the compressor and could adjust pressure inside the truck but could never find the slow air leak, so the fittings are on the license plate holes on the bottom 2 holes. I run 15 psi with nothing in it. Do you get any bounce with the bags? I added adapters to go from 1/4 lines to 1/2” lines and back to 1/4” at 4’ long and lay on top the spare tire, they are like a small tank. I have a Harley road king with a police air ride seat, and it has a tank. With out the tank it is like a spring, and would stand you up and try to throw you over the handlebars. They don’t take much air to fill. With the tank, it is very smooth and plush, the air has a place to go. The airbags and cradles added over an inch of lift with no air, with 15 psi at 2” lift on stock springs. I had this setup for nearly 4 years, any questions.
Nice Video! The air bags are new to me … what is the brand & are they only for towing?
Good video. Would be good to have a recommendation from you on a stock truck they is running loaded with bed rack and 500 pounds full time. I have airbags on my Ram used to haul a two car hauler gooseneck. They do the job but when inflated with a loaded trailer the ride is HARSH. I don’t like using them unless fully loaded for that reason.
What tire rack is that system??
Are the extended break lines on the website?
The before and after is amazing.
