    Yeah, I got 2 letters for this recall. Still no date for the replacement though...

    Does anyone know what's going on with canadians leaf springs replacement schedule?

    Likely the same leaf packs as in the TSB springs, but modified with additional clamps to keep broken leaves in place. Thoughts?

    My main thought when I got these is that they are still some of the flattest springs I've ever seen. Mine are a year old now and have some noticeable sag already

    Toyota replaced everything on both sides twice. On there dime since my problem started happening around 3,000 miles but they told me Southeast toyota states are getting the kit in April and northern states are already getting the kit.

    I got mine last February with the frame recall I think they were waiting to get the bulk of the frame recall is done first and the wife took so long for people just getting the springs. That's just an assumption though

    I brought my 08 RC 4x4 in last week and they ordered the replacement leafs and shackles. I can't wait to get them installed, my springs have 130k on them and are completely flat from fatigue. After about 16 months since my initial recall notice toyota is finally taking some action!

    I hate to tell you but the brand new ones are completely flat out of the box.

    I doubt they are flat like mine, and if nothing else they will be a 4 leaf pack instead of the 3 leaf I have now.

    Wow those look like shit, pretty similar to mine. Is your TRD an access cab or double cab? Maybe they will keep an arch with my light RC, or maybe ill be buying an add a leaf soon.

    Access cab. And I have only put a load in the truck once and they didn't do too well. I have bilstein 5100's leveling the front out918cf7ffffb1b3d6000d5dec79de3c37_41c622f016015b014c6854a2b7d5d0949290533c.jpg

    well if that's 20 sheets of 1/2" it's 800+lbs or if that's 3/4" you're up around 1200lbs...

    This matches what I was told by a dealership in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma in the last group and this May is when letters should come in. We'll see if this holds true, because I'm taking a road trip on Memorial Day weekend, and would like to have the work done before that trip. Probably a zero % chance of that happening, though...

    Let me know what and when you find out as I live in Oklahoma too and need my springs done. I used to use James Hodge Toyota in Muskogee but live in Seminole now so thinking of Hudiburg in OKC. Which dealer do you use? Still need to do my muffler recall too
