    I have an 09 Taco PreRunner and I am looking at replacing my OEM leafs due to the Recall. I do not plan to wait around for them to come up with a solution. With that being said what is a great aftermarket replacement for them. At the moment the heaviest payloads she will be pulling at the moment is basically all the stuff in my house for when we move. im not looking at getting a lift at all anytime soon....not until I come home from Afghanistan within the next year or so. (my fiancé will be driving my taco around while I am gone and with no lift at all shes not use to sitting that high up)

    I THINK toytec

    I know for sure that down south motorsports can get them....................

    Call, ask For Sonny or Micah...........Sonny will know me as Brock.
    Ask if they have any military discounts.


    1-888-973-6967
    http://downsouthmotorsports.com/

    I know they usually dont have them on the site but I have spoken to SOnny (owner) personally and they DO carry them.

    Dakars, Toytec or call Alcan Spring they will make a set but are a little more expensive.

    Allpro makes a very nice spring but not sure for factory height. Their springs are not made in house but not sure who their supplier is.

    The OME Dakars a very popular leaf choice. They ride good, they have good load support, and are at a good price. They can be changed up to depending on your needs by removing or adding leafs to the pack.
    We have them here for your 2nd Gen Tacoma:

    so I got in contact with a shop back home to see if they had done any suspension work on tacomas and what he recommended.

    Icon stage 1 Suspension System with Atlas Rear Leaf Springs and Alignment. $3375 (parts and labor). I have heard great things about Icon but haven't heard anything about Atlas....im not trying to break the bank so some tell me otherwise....this is in all honestly my first build
