help with suspension sag
Ok guys here's the deal. I carry equipment for work which weighs about 200lbs or so in the rear hatch cargo area. It is placed with the seats folded down so as t center the weight more over the rear wheels.
I run a full TRD setup...shocks and springs but with this load I sag about 3/4 inches. Virtually eliminating wheel gap. Looks fine BUT here is where my problem is. My alignment is done with no weight in the back....typical driving. With the extra weight it seems that mu camber is all out of wack and caused my previous tires to cup and had to replace them. Getting it aligned with the weight is an option I guess but looking for a better solution than that.
Does anyone know of a w ay to eliminate the sag to maintain my alignment and still carry the load? Coilovers? Adjustable spring rate suspension?
Thanks for your help guys!

If you haven't tried yet, you can put the heaviest equipment in the middle (back seats) to distribute the weight "evenly". It won't put so much weight on the back.
That's what sucks about springs, you can't adjust the height. With coilovers, you can. But idk if it's worth it to you to buy coilovers just because of the equipment.
