I have been lurking on this message board for quite some time. This board has been especially useful in answering my questions that I have had about my Tacoma by using the search function. However, one of my questions that has yet been answered is this... I want to order Deaver's 3 leaf progressive add-a-leaf from Wheelers since I would like the additional lift and ride that everyone rants and raves about. However, my stock springs are sagged to the point where its basically riding on the overload springs. My concern is that if I put on the AAL on my sagging springs, I will not gain any lift and possibally ruin my ride since I feel that the stock springs might overpower the AAL into sagging as well. Basically, my question is this, "Will the AAL from Deaver work on sagging springs without failing shortly after?" And if so, will it give a better ride when combined with Bilsteins 5100s? I apologize if this has already been answered, I just cannot, for the life of me, find a thread involving this situation.
Also, my rig is a 2000 Tacoma Extended Cab TRD 4x4. My future plans is to put on 882s in the front and Deaver's AAL/1" shackles in the rear. I already have Bentup round double tube sliders and rear bumper on the way.
Also, a side question since I don't want to take up too much space on the forum. I want to get the 882s and the OME comfort shocks. However, I do not see anyone else using comfort shocks being paired with the 'firm' springs from OME. Being a total newbie when it comes to springs and shocks, is this a bad combination? I'm aiming for a smooth, cushy on-road ride and an equally smooth ride on rough gravel roads. I only wheel on mountian trails and the like. Nothing hardcore like rock crawling like the majority of ya'll do out west. Thank you in advance for your help!
