    Method 313 Toyo MT 35x12.5 fox 2.5 front and rear
    I just picked up a 21 trail limited edition package last week.

    I have tuned fox 2.5s on order from AccuTune. And I already put on Method 313s with 35" toyo mt (with a spacer for now until my toys come in)

    This is my third truck, my previous trucks had 2.5" shocks and uca's but stock leaf springs.

    Before the trucks I always had drift cars, now I have kids, work in construction, and tow boats to hunt and fish, so I no longer have drift cars, but that being said I throw my truck sideways every time its wet and I'm not gonna waste my tires too much.

    I have some money left for the build and I am thinking hard about putting on a set of rear springs this time.
    I've heard amazing things about both sets of deavers, as far as ride quality and off road handling.
    But how do they effect body roll?
    Does the progressive spring rate compensate and keep the body roll down? or do you gain ride quality on and off road but get more body roll?
    I understand it's a full size truck and I probably shouldn't be sliding it, but I've never been very reasonable LOL

    Here are some pics of how she currently sits because pictures make everything better.IMG_8307.jpg

    I agree, call Alcan or talk to Jeff at Deaver. That said, if you want to minimize roll, maybe install a (anti-) sway bar. Those keep the truck pretty well planted. So much that those of us who upgraded shocks to play off-road don’t use sway bars....

    Wait, what kind of drift cars?

    Also, I'm with @Sunnier get the TRD rear sway bar and give one of the leaf manufacturers a call to chat and get the ball rolling.

    Your front coil springs with 650/700 pound springs will help with body roll also. Will take less preload on the spring to lift the truck. Not sure Fox gives you the option to make those changes when you order them but ADS and King do.

    @Squatting Pigeon I had two caged miatas, a stripped out e30 and a first gen FRS.

    i’m not actually trying to make a drift set up, and I forgot to mention in the first post that I also like to bomb washed out roads at 80, so I don’t really want to add sway bars in the back. Just more wondering a progressive spring in the back is going to add body roll.
