Toytec 9602-p is what they are labeled, came with the truck. Pretty stiff for daily driver, but flex out nice. would be good on a heavy rig

I actually moved away from socal, couldn't take the madness anymore. 2wd was ok tho, only got stuck twice, once in deep sand, and once in mud durring rain storm at 2 am lol. I just pretend its a dirt bike, load up the rear, and keep moving, cant putt around like in 4 low.

@Inverted States 6112's with the 3/8" tophat spacer ToyTec sells rides really well with
spring perch set in slots 3 Driver side 2 Passenger side gives 2.75" lift.
If you installed them with perch setting in pic that way too much preload for 2wd setup.

Yea thats a good idea, tophat spacers and reduce preload. I just wanted to maintain the ride height the truck was at for 32's and blastin around river bottoms, but where I live now there isn't much wheeling. Setting the truck more up for the street. It has major Driver side lean, i just measured it:

from ground to fender :

FL 37.5"FR 39"
RL 37" RR 39"

What rear springs would you recommend with reduced front preload? dont want to be raked out

Can't answer with those measurements.
Measure from hub center to wheel well on level surface. Stock front is 20" rear 20.5"
1st things 1st figure out what your going to run for front lift.
Old man emu has a variety check out the website ToyTec sells them.
For my 2.75" front lift I went 3'' lift OME 890's it sets level.
Stay away from OME shocks & stuts.

My last videos/memories from California....

Packing everything up and hittin' the road.

Made a pit stop in Las Vegas and had some fun in the desert...

All packed up and heading EAST...

Drove 2,300 miles, pulling a overloaded trailer, on 32's m/t hahaha... There were sections where I had the throttle pinned to the floor and kept slowing down...BUT, she made it.

Now located in central Ky.

Had to do some maintenance to the rig, valve cover seals, plugs, odds n ends.

The 32's were worn flat, decided to go down to 31's. Drives so much better, and there isn't as much wheelin' near me, much more city driving unfortunately.

The land is beautiful out here, dense forests. Pretty much anywhere in the Daniel Boone national forest is good to go. Some of the photos are of the Kentucky River near Lexington, the others are Cave Run Lake near Morehead. The last is from Pilot Knob.

It is pretty out here but most of the land near me is private, have to drive at least an hour to go camp, but its worth it. And almost no OHV's, couple of private offroad parks for utv's and quads.
