Default Adjustable Spring perches

I have trd dampers and springs and just put in a rather large rear stereo. I was wondering if anyone makes a spring kit that includes rear perches to just lift the back a little bit. Most kits I have seen drop the back more than the front and I really dont need this.

You really have two options.

1. Purchase a supplemental air system for the rear. (Airlift makes these. I can get you a link if you like.)

2. Purchase coilovers. (Progress will probably be your least expensive option.)

Option one allows you to adjust your spring rate for your load on the fly. But you can't achieve a lower drop, other than by adding weight.

Option two requires much more work to adjust for varying loads, but allows full adjustment for ride height both front and rear.

After paying for all of the parts and installation you are pretty much at a wash as far as cost. The only cost advantage to coilovers is that you may be able to sell your old drop springs.

Good luck.

is anyone running the progressive setup and thereby make any comments on ride quality, part quality?

Seeing how you only have TRD springs. With the extra weight back there you may get away with using the stock springs out back. Throw them in and see how it sits.
