Summary, truck is sitting low and riding harsh after adding weight
Before:
99 lx
2 inch ironman pro lift kit on medium duty TOY013B-100 (3 inch foam cell shocks and extended control arms and Tbars)
dissent front and rear steel
1st and 2nd row installed and spare sitting in back of truck
Was set up level and drove amazing, Measured F21.25 and R22.5 and drove very well
After:
170 lb rtt
450lbs of various overlanding things in the back
(total of +600lbs over stock)
Problem:
Now sitting at F20.5 and R22 and riding harsh
not bottoming out but I also drive VERY slow on and offroad (get 12.5 mpg on 33's)
Fix?
Inflated airbags to 30 psi (should provide "800lbs of support")
That brought my rear back up to 22.5 and drove better again but not great, feels super heavy over bumps but drives and rides good on flat roads
Question:
I want to keep the 2 inch lift so I dont have to get control arms but I need heavier springs. The 2864 seem good but LOTS of people say they are way to harsh if your not heavily loaded and they are taller than the 2 inch setup so i would have to crosslevel or have way too much rake if i empty the truck out ever.
