    Hello all! I'm a proud new owner of a 4WD '05 access cab with the 2.7 with 120k miles. Picked it up for $10k at a local dealership. I have a few questions... how worried should I be about getting the leaf springs replaced as there is an open recall on them. Also, can anyone point out any other potential issues I should look out for other than the obvious (frame rot, etc) thanks.
