    So I'm building my TRD Pro as a part time Overland vehicle (still my work truck) and have a question. I've added an ARB Dual compressor and Genesis Dual Battery set up in the engine bay. And I have a Camburg CTE Steel Bumper with rigid lights and Warn Zeon Platinum 12 Winch awaiting spring time for installation.
    I have the Coachbuilder shims but just the weight of the batteries and compressor have basically negated the lift from those. When I add the bumper, I'll probably be another inch lower in the front.
    Does anyone make springs that'll fit the Bilstien shocks on the TRD Pro? I'd like a heavier spring to accommodate the additional weight and restore the ride height.
    Not really interested in swapping out my entire suspension.
    Thanks!
    Erik

    Not sure if they would fit the Bilstiens, but I've used heavier rate ARB / Old Man Emu springs before on the front of an FJ80 for the same reason as above. The suspension was completely different on the solid front axle vehicle, but it might be worth a call or email to see if they have a spring that would work for your application. I was satisfied with OME suspension's ability to handle the extra weight up front.
