Yeah that looks pretty sweet. I fucked up and got the oem trd lift not realizing it doesn't handle added weight very well. My rear springs are constantly compressed almost 2 inches more than they should be. Adding a swing out will just make this problem even worse not only adding more weight but pushing out the center of gravity.

Planning on waiting for warranties to expire before swapping out all the suspension for something that can handheld handle all the weight. I got the smartcap, roof rack, full skids, sliders, bumper, winch, Dual battery setup. The trd suspension can't handle all that and adding more weight is just gonna make it worse..... did it to myself, should've done a lot more research on all this. Lessons learned

Yea I feel that. Even with a 1" spacer on top of the rear OEM springs I had to switch to the icon overland springs with my topper due to sag and that ocean boat feeling. The hitch mounted swingouts aren't too heavy though, so good option v.s. Taking up all that bed space.
