Worth it to put on TRD UCAs and leaf springs?

    I just bought and installed a cheap set of 2019 TRD OR take off coils, front struts, and rear struts on my 2014 SR5.

    My question is, is it worth it to install the TRD OR UCAs and leafs? Or are they pretty comparable to what's on the SR5 already? I ask because the UCAs look identical, but was curious if the TRD OR ones are stronger. I feel like the leaf springs may be worth it...

    This truck only has 22,000 miles on it and the previous owner only drove it to the grocery store and around town.

    Uca’s Are the same compare the leaf packs I’m not sure if and difference but if more legs in the new set I’d consider installing them

    Do you mean count each leaf? I did and both have four, that's why I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle of swapping them.

    I’m not sure the answer there but I believe they’re the same. Hopefully some one who has done the switch (3rd gen suspension on a 2nd gen ) will chime in and verify. Either way I’m not sure it’ll make enough difference to be worth it

    That's what I'm thinking. I don't think the leafs have been used enough to make it worth it. I could see it if I was at 100k plus miles or something, but it's just been so lightly used. I also plan on upgrading the suspension to something beefier in a couple years.
