    I recently bought these from JCwhitney and I will be planning on installing by the end of the month. I will let you know how it goes. The stock springs squeak already and sag pretty bad with hardly any weight so they need to go!

    Thanks. I'm really curious to know how they feel without any weight in the back.

    Got the leafs installed! They seem a little more firm than stock and sits a little higher in the back which is what i wanted. I had the stock springs with a one inch Readylift block. I also ditched the stock shocks and put the 5100s on the back. Did the install myself and went pretty smooth. One of the problems I had was the U bolts they installed with the Readylift were too long but the shop was down the road and they happened to have some stock u bolts. Also, they were a little scuffed up from shipping on the bracket that holds the park brake cable, but a little paint fixed that up. These springs are awesome and you can't beat that price. Plus they have free shipping from JC whitney.

    Sorry didnt get pics of the install but I do have one as the truck sits with new leafs.

    Sorry to ditch this topic but I have a question regarding this leaf pack.
    I have a 2008 Tacoma TRD (Dble cab), everything is stock.
    I have a couple leaf springs broken on the driver side, a suspension shop here quoted a huge amount of money just to replace the broken leaves ($500) so I'm thinking of just buying 2 full leaf packs and change the suspension on both sides (the truck has 110000 miles on it so even the "not broken" leaves are pretty old).
    This leaf pack (http://www.jcwhitney.com/skyjacker-...17.jcwx?skuId=2944836&filterid=d2193y2008g2j1) is advertised with a 1.5 / 2in lift, I've been told it's OK since it's gonna match the factory "lift" my truck had, just wanted a confirmation.. my front suspension is stock, I don't necessarily want to have the rear sitting 2in higher than the front...
    Thanks a lot for any help !
