I have used McBride’s before and was happy with the service.

Hey Bruce - leaf springs or coil springs?

Ditto McBride’s... I don’t know who else in town even does springs, leaf or not
Like radiator shops, the pool is very shallow

Leaf springs. The suspension is a Ironman Foam Cell with the 440-800lb springs. I have a short bed rack and Tuffstuff Alpha ll RTT on the truck. I plan to add some wood storage draws in the back, a Dominic 75 fridge and carry a couple of Jerry cans of fuel and a couple of waterThe measurements are with about 450-500lbs on/in the back.

I stopped by McBrides going through town today and they said they could de-arch the springs or remove one leaf.
So there is more to the story. Measurements from bottom of the wheel to fender.
29.5 front (Stock) measured a new truck at a dealer
29.25(Curt). Measured before replacing suspension
31.75(new). Now

32 rear (Stock)
28.5(Curt)
34.5(new)

So looking at a new truck and looking at my trucks measurements, I got about a 2” lift, it just seems that my suspension was already starting to sag. To me it seemed really high change.

The suspension market for Tacos is abundant so I'm sure an option exists for your specific load.

yes I think even Ironman has a softer spring rating
