Toyota Tacoma (2WD) 1986 – 2004

I first bought the original RAS back in 2004 for my 2004 Toyota Tacoma V6 2wd Extra Cab. Recently I needed to have suspension work done and decided to purchase the current version. This version was user friendly and much easier to install since you did not need to remove and put back any of the suspension parts. Just bolt on and done! The main reason I purchased this product was because it helps keep the suspension from sagging from heavy loads in the truck bed!

I had to remove the 2 nuts to get the hook in 🪝 Those babies were on there tight! I suppose that's a good thing though if you don't have the same issue I did Thanks RAS

I installed the RAS on my 1999 Toyota Tacoma extra cab. This is a plain Jane 2 wd, not a Prerunner. It is my work truck, and I carry around 800+ pounds of transfer fuel tank and tools. The weight rating for the car is a little over 1500 pounds. Even with about 300 pounds, the vehicle's rear starts to sag. The installation was straightforward; it took me about an hour to complete because I had to remove one side of the rear leaf spring bracket. In order to slide the RAS over the leaf spring (P/ RAS instructions ). I used the black disc/spacer for the maximum adjustment. In conclusion, the truck sits level with the weight or without. The ride handling is the part that surprised me the most. The ride handling is much better, absolutely not my imagination; It is firm and stable, not bumpy or floaty with or without the weight. This is the money well spent on my part and highly recommended. RAS System # 452-ST.
