    Purchased truck a week ago. New to lifted trucks.
    2016 Platinum with TRD SC.
    Tires are 35x12.5 17
    Current SuspensionSetup is Toytec spacer and block spacer on back. This is the way i got it.
    Currrent front is sitting at 40 inch and rear is 42.
    i would like to level with a 2-2.5 left setup.
    I want to switch to Icon 2.5 VS CDVC Coilover kit.
    Also want to get rid of blocks in the back and go to helper/add on leaf spings.
    Need recommendation on help springs?

    Need help looking for leaf springs? Deaver springs are probably one of the most reputable. If you don't want to spend money on brand new springs you could go to an add a leaf

    Icon sells an add a leaf option. As for coilovers there are many options, do you want to have reservoirs? Adjusters? you can go mid travel which increases travel by 1" but you have to buy aftermarket UCAs.

    I would go through the suspension thread and see other peoples set ups so you can get an idea of what you want. I have Kings 2.5 Ext Coilovers with resevoirs. LSK UCAs and I have an Icon add a leaf in the rear. With my coilovers maxed out and the Add-a-leaf I wanna say my rear sits about n inch higher.

    really would like to keep stock UCA.
    So you have a valid point. Will go with no reservior and mild travel. For my use it will be fine. I am not rock crawling. Just overlanding/campimg.

    Lots of people swear by the coach builder shackles. Much cheaper than replacing leaf springs.

    I know you didn't ask for my opinion. But, I think a lot of people will agree too, if you are going to spend the extra money on some decent coilovers then you might as well get the UCAs and the Ext. Coilovers. Also, saw that you had Dirty5s (35s), depending on the offset of your wheels you will have to do some trimming. I think +25 is the sweetspot for fitting larger tires on these trucks

    Will see either go mild or wild. Really have to think what I use it for.
    looks like it is goof t to be mild to save a lot of trouble.

    without a doubt a 35 on a 17 vs 20 will be much more comfortable.

    any opportunities to test out wet traction?

    Was talking with the local offroad shop and was quoted $425 for the Icon leaf pack for the rear. Looking to add about 1" cause when I load my bikes in the back I think it is a bit low. Pic doesn't really show it as I am heading down hill a bit.
