Rear Spring Upgrade for a Light Camper Setup

One of the things I knew early on with my Toyota Tacoma TRD Off‑Road 2025 build was that the rear suspension would eventually need a little help. I’m running a lightweight camper setup in the bed that weighs about 378 lbs, so I wanted something that could handle the extra weight without making the truck ride stiff or harsh on the road. This truck is still my daily driver, so keeping good ride quality was important. After looking at different options, I ended up going with the Dobinsons Coil Spring Pair (C59‑817V). What makes the C59-817V springs a good option for a light overland or camper setup is their moderate constant load rating. They’re designed to support roughly 175–330 lbs of constant rear weight, which puts them right in the sweet spot for things like campers, drawer systems, or bed racks without needing to jump to a heavy-duty spring. For my setup, the 378 lb camper is pretty close to that range once you factor in gear and other small items in the bed. So far they’ve been a great balance; The truck doesn’t sag with the camper installed, ride quality is still very close to stock on the road, the rear feels more planted off-road, no excessive stiffness when the bed isn’t fully loaded. They also add a bit of lift depending on weight, so the truck maintains a nice stance instead of squatting when the bed is loaded. If you’re building a 4th gen Tacoma with a lightweight camper, bed rack, or even a drawer system, these springs seem like a really solid middle ground. They give you the extra support without jumping into super heavy-duty springs that can make the truck ride rough when unloaded.

Got my lift kit, wheels and tires installed this past Monday. Added these Perry Parts bumps to complement the rear end. These should work much better than the stock ones. The install is super simple. You just take off the old bump/bracket, and bolt these new ones in. I'll post an update in the future after we do more testing.
