A year late, but here are pics. Handling has increased due to fact all heavy gear is centered in truck. Very rear is only for fly fishing gear, guns.

I never asked for a commercial solution. I wrote that I was going to remoce the seats and build my own. I was seeking to see what/how others had done. Even if I had a Taco I would still have removed the seats or left them down all the time just like I do now.

Tried several searches, different word combinations, both here and on expedition... I never use my rear seats, have already removed the seat bottoms to gain more room directly behind the front seats. Now looking at removing the laid down seat backs also, building a storage compartment, same...

Very good article. Thank you for providing the link.

I wish it was that easy Raven. But what Swarty, Jeremy and Atl4r wrote helped me to understand the spring charts and all the talk. There is no simple answer as I dig deeper, especially for front coils. Then I find out front OME can be used with Bilsteins but best with their shocks.

Sigh, leaf springs are so much easier, at least for old farts like myself... Thank you for the replies, insight. So I need to find someplace the weight/spring rate for the FJ springs to make the comparison to OME, which I have already located. Basically, though Swarty's simplification may not...

AT3 6 ply Just installed the 6 ply AT3 with less than 400 miles on the stock tires. They weigh 47 pounds each. Dropped my fuel mileage, same roads, same speeds, from combined 19 mpg to 18 mpg. I like that, for a heavier tire with a more aggressive tread that is very quiet. The 6 ply is not that...
