These guys make after market front and rear springs . I put the heavy rate springs in the back of my truck recently, rides awesome.

Handled better than the stock springs with weight in the back, nice and smooth over speed bumps etc( not slowing down to much) to see how it was. The rear hardly went down at all, or not that I could notice with the tank, lumber and some tools. Also added the bilstein 5160s so they are...
Haven't loaded it up yet, I've got to move a 80 gallon hot water tank on the weekend so I'll see how it handles with the 300lb tank, tools and some lumber and let ya know how it handles loaded and how much if any it squats.
I'd say I have a little less than 150 lbs in the bed/ on bed all times...
About the the same price in vancouver British Columbia, goes up and down alot but been up that price for a while.
I'd hate to see your road tax bill for the truck over there, especially if you have to go into London and the stupid congestion charge 🤣
Yeah I did but I lost the paper 🤣, from what I remember the truck was at 40 or little under and now the rear is at 42.
There ya go, that's the north American distributor, there's two spring rates i went for the heavier load ones which I linked below. So far they are awesome. Definitely lift...
They where about $350 canadian with shipping and such through a local shop in Vancouver, but there is a place in Flordia that is the distributor, ther are $220 us.
I got 2 inches on the dot with mine, definitely a improvement also with the shocks...
Finally got a weekend off and not on call so decided to get the rear done.
Put 5160s in and also Dobinson 2"lift coils with heavier load rating in, along with some core 4x4 end links.
overall wasn't bad at all, needed the spring compressors to just shrink them a little to get them in.
so...
Got those Dobinsons coil and 5160s in today.
few choice words and a spring compressor got them in at one of works pump stations since it's flat ground 🤣,
so far the rides waaay smoother, seems more planted, only went to the beer store after so haven't gone far. But I'll let ya know
Mine went to the dealer today, gets replaced in the morning. They said I'll have it back by end of day.
I had no cracks at all but small leaks. I did replace the third light gasket myself with a weather stripping but they are replacing the light to. So we'll see what happens
The tubing on the streets is 3/16th and tier 4 is 5/16th DOM tubing.
Tier 4 has Forged Currie Johnny Joints and street version has rubber or poly bushings.
Also the adjusting threads are beefier on the tier 3 and 4.
I have the tier 4 end links for when I do my rear shocks and new springs...
I'd get the Falken wildpeaks at3ws personally, had Toyos on my f150 and find the wildpeaks are quiter, and seem to be better in the snow and loose gravel fsr roads and the wet especially in raincouver bc
I think everywhere is out. My 6112s where meant to ship mid July now it says late August. The 5160s they had the left side but not the right, so I opted to just have them send me two left sided ones. Just won't see the bilatein lettering on the bracket..
Yeah , my aussie cousin told me about them, never heard of them before, and a local 4x4 shop here sells them for all the Toyotas etc so thought I'd order up a set and see how they go.
Probably a set of coil springs and those falcon rear shock would work wonders.
I don't tow, but I do go off the grid camping with a pile of stuff so I did order heavier rear coils from dobinsons. the give a 2 inch lift with a heavier rate...
I just ordered a set of Dobinsons 2" lift rear coils. Wanted a little more than icon and not as much as Clayton, should be good paired with the 6112s I'm waiting for to.
That Dobinsons dealer for north america is in Florida so should be quick shipping. I have to wait for them to ship to Canada...
Dropped my 19 sport off this morning for the leak dudes to play with it. Dealership called few hours later and said they ordered a new window and spoke to FCA Canada, Back ordered so we'll see how long it takes to come in, thankfully I have a tiny leak compared to some.
