My suspension set up for the street

I rescued my rear wheel drive 2007 RCSB with a plan to improve it's handling performance on the street without reducing ground clearance, without reducing the scrub line, without using low profile tires and without making it ride rough.

I lowered the bed 3.25" with the SOS performance rear only leveling kit, and it was the most significant modification. I also installed the Air-Lift kit, the TRD anti roll bar kit and the shorter Bilstein 4600 series shocks from SOS, plus a new custom set of Alcan leaf springs.



I ended up replacing the relatively thin TRD anti roll bar with a much beefier Hellwig anti roll bar.



"Running the leaf springs under the axle helps lower the center of gravity and improves axle control under hard acceleration." MOTORTREND

Up front I have new OEM Toyota coils springs, Bilstein 4600 series shocks and a solid TRD anti roll bar... the height of the front suspension is stock.



The tires stay planted on the street surface with this set up, and even if I leave the auto LSD on it almost never engages when I pull hard off the line or when I accelerate hard out of corners. Additional benefits: steering response is greatly improved, and it's easier to enter and exit the truck.

I love it when a plan comes together.
