    i have recently gotten a ‘17 TRD Pro, and I have a decked drawer unit, and will be getting a camper shell fairly soon. Day to day I haul about 400lbs of gear in the drawers, which, plus the drawers and cap will give me a bro lean stance. Since it is a daily occurrence, I’m contemplating helper airbags, or maybe the Icon secondary leaf set that adds ~1.5”.

    For camping and mild off-roading, I’ll have a lighter gear load out than the tools I carry daily for work.

    My question is, would I be better off with some helper bags, and deflate when I unload, or would the Icon springs be a better move? Right now tires are stock, but I plan to go oversized once these wear.

    Save your money and get a pair of Alcan springs. Best long term investment. Air bags are great but you can get a much better ride with a leaf pack, and no sag. Best mod I installed on my truck.

    Think I paid just over a $1000. Long term it's worth the investment, I assume that what you are looking for. I sold my OEM pack for $200.
