Hey Guys,
I've been lurking on this site for a while now but this is my first post. I've owned my Four Wheel Camper Finch model for ~1 year and have really been liking it. I have it on the back of my 2002 Toyota Tacoma double cab. It has the 3.4 v6 motor, auto trans, 4x4. I have a helper spring in the rear but it's just not cutting it. Any small bump and i'm hitting hard. Body roll is pretty major, too. I'm wondering if anyone on here as the same setup and knows what rear springs work well. I've talked to a 4x4 shop i trust but their expertise is in 4 wheeling, not camper load carrying.
A few more details if it helps. I have the shell model with furnace. I obviously load it up with camping gear that may include bikes, kayaks, extra fuel, the works. I've taken some frame strengthening precautions but i still want to avoid timbrens or airbags due to the extra stress they cause. Right now unloaded my truck is higher in the rear almost 2 inches. When loaded it sags 3/4". I'm leaning towards the Old Man Emu rear heavy springs but i wanted to see if anyone has recommendations.
Here's my truck to make this post more interesting.
