    I have the TSB rear leaf springs, and broke one of the springs on the drivers side. I'm looking for a set of springs without any lift, I just don't want to deal with the hassle of lifting the front. However, at the same time, I'd like some springs that can handle a heavier load. Anyone have any suggestions?

    You're likely in custom leaf pack territory. Try a local spring shop or a place like Alcan or Deaver. They can make you a set of springs for whatever speciifications you wish (lift, load, etc).

    How about these? Handles a heavier load, may sit slightly higher it says though. Call Wheelers and ask if you're interested.

    I called Alcan and they said they can make a custom pack to do basically anything I wanted, not cheap, but the good stuff rarely is

    I have a 2013 Toacoma that is not covered in the TSB yet but is does have the 3 leaf rear springs. It is soft and sagging. I have also developed a random non reproduceable vibration in the rear end that comes and goes at different speeds. Toyota tells me it is the springs and they need to be replaced. I don't want to add any lift but would like a little stiffer spring. What did you end up going with and have you been pleased?

    The original poster hasn't been here since 10/14, and the thread is over 3 years old. So doubt you'll hear from him.

    For a bit of modest capacity I'd use airbags and call it good.
