    Not listed for 3rd gen but same dimensions. I personally have never run these exact springs. I have run their other Toyota springs and they are great. They will even make you a set of springs to order how ever you want them last I checked.

    Can you give me a link. I want some to replace my stock ones that do not lift my truck. Just wanting some that might improve my ride quality and replace the crappy factory Toyota ones. Thanks!

    That is why I posted the General spring link above.

    Edit: I think Wheelers Off Road sells some leaf springs for non lifted applications as well.

    What if...... you switched the axle position from under to over. Would that allow you to use a different set of springs with more arch or would thta just introduct other issues. I hate how the OEM springs are close to arched up with a light load in the box.

    If you do decide to lift, you can do an add a leaf it’ll give the stock springs more arch and lift at least 1.5”, but you’ll have to raise the front as well.

    you should check if you have a local spring shop. Lots of them can rework you stock spring for your desired application. for example, re arcing, stiffening, reinforcing ect. check google and stuff in your area.
