    I run a pallet company in Southern California, and I use my 2005 Tundra as my work truck. I was running it with the OEM bed for 4 months before I decided to build a flatbed on it. There is still a lot that I want to do to it, such as heavy-duty leaf springs, Firestone airbag kit, better rear shocks, and a lift for the front and rear. Ultimately, I want to move the axle back so it is centered under the bed. I feel like this would alleviate a lot of the rear sag so that the weight is balanced rather than mostly behind the rear axle. I know this takes time and money, but it will work and eventually be done. But for now, less weight on the bed to save the current leaf springs.
