Rear end suspension question...

add a leaf from ICON if on a budget or Deaver U748 if more $$.
Over time, Tundra leaf packs tend to flatten though. Plenty discussed on the forum.

 

What airbag are these? I would like to have longer travel air bags for more articulation. I have

$425 Firestone 2445 FIRESTONE 07-09TOY Tundra

Firestone 2445 double convoluted air bags.

 

Thanks.

 

Not to change topic, but why did you mount your leaves under the axle? I also thought your exhaust was missing when I first looked.

 

It's a different method of leveling the vehicle... hanging the leaf packs under the axle lowers the bed 3.25" so that it matches the stock height of the front suspension. There are a few benefits to leveling the truck this way, the negative is not being able to run the tail pipe out the side. My tailpipe is now dumped behind the axle, right after the last hanger.

These side view pictures of the truck are about two years old. Click on the build link in my signature to see more & current images.

 

As several folks have mentioned here and from Personal experience with a 2007 LE Tundra That I would put a slide in Camper and Tow a Boat with at same time I went with a set of Firestone airbags very simple to install and No you do not need to put big $$ out for a on board air compressor thought you can go pretty crazy with a full system but for occasional use that is not needed just place the fill valves at a easy to get at clean location and set the air pressure to 12 to 13 psi for everyday use then air up for load carrying, I used a simple portable tire inflation compressor and I located the valves next to the gas cap area behind the gas cap door. Shocks are only there to control the Ride and movement of the axle add a Leaf will work and is one of the lowest cost items however it may make a harder ride and could raise the rear end up a bit higher and then there is the Load Levelers that do work well a bit high on price with the down side of when under load the ride really really sucked however when not under load it was normal. I ended up with the Firestone "ride - rite air bag helper springs and it worked very good so Now I plan to install them on my current Tundra the same way.

 

What’s the brand/weight of your slide in camper?

Edit: NM. I found it. Adventurer. Their smallest one is 1819 lbs.

 

Thats one is 80RB style without the slide out, I had the 2017 M 80GS with slide out and it was very close to that weight but by the time It got stocked up and all the gear on board it came in just under 2000 lbs. then hitched the Boat on with 370 lbs. hitch weight my gas millage was nothing to speak of however the truck performed well.
