I'm not a fan of conventional Add-A Leaves. They typically add a lot of stress to the wrong spots of a spring pack. At best bad ride. At worst broken springs.
I have a 2006 Tundra double cab 4x4. Last of the 1st gens. Currently have air bags and rear sway bar. They get the job done but I prefer steel springs.
I know I can get custom packs made if I have too. But I've recently come across a couple of interesting options. Both Icon and Wheelers sell an Add-A- Leaf expansion pack that replaces the overload spring with 3 progressive leaves to make a larger spring pack.

Seems like a logical alternative without the typical draw backs. Has anyone here tried these?
I also found a HD spring pack sold by Fat Bob's. They told me it is made by Dayton spring and is designed for towing. It adds 1,000lbs of weight capacity to the springs over stock.

Same question is anyone running these?
Also has anyone run this lift. I'm a long time fan of Old Man Emu stuff. but They really don't make much for the US only 1st gen Tundra. It's my understanding that the 1st gen Tundra's and 2nd gen Taco's share a lot of suspension pieces. These are late model late model taco parts they say work well on the Tundra. I would get this without the AAL if I bought the shocks.

Just looking at options at this point and wondering what other peoples experience may be with these products.
