Discovered a broken leaf spring

In the midst of installing an add a leaf from headstrong offroad aaaaaaaand discovered one of the stock leafs was snapped on one side. My question is, if I get an aftermarket leaf pack on only one side, is it going to going to create a leveling problem? Would you just bite the bullet and get two new leaf packs? I'm pretty blown right now, if I can get away with just doing one new leaf pack for the one side that is broken, that would be ideal. Anyone have any insight? Thank you!

 

You can get new take off packs for $100-150 on here all day long. Just replace with new off a third gen.

 

I'd just go for 2 new leaf packs. I would always do both sides the same. Most people seem to like the Dakar packs. I think you can get them around $250 per pack.

 

Regardless what ever you do modify both sides the same way.

 

I busted one on the left before and after the axle. So I got out my grinder with a cut off wheel and made the right side match the left. It rode and handled fantastic but I never put any real weight in the bed and I definitely didn't tow anything. I drove it like that for months.

It had a LOT of axle wrap.

 

There was a TSB for this. If you go to the dealer, they’ll probably replace the springs for free. I doubt they’ll install your AALs though.

 

I snapped a 4in lift leaf spring and had it replaced under a warranty. The new one was installed and there was a noticeable lean bc it was much stiffer than the old. It never settled and leveled out so I wouldn't recommend replacing just one side.

 

Where in MD? Might have a (free) solution...

 

^ This. You want both sides to match as closely as possible. I learned the hard way on my old Subaru, when I found a broken coil spring, and cheaped out by only replacing the one spring.

I’m in Charles Town, WV and I commute to Chantilly, VA - I have a stock pack off my 2015, you’re welcome to it if you pick it up. Either one of those locations.

 

I saw this, put in my vin on Toyotas site and it told be there were no current recalls. Thought I might just ask the dealership tomorrow anyway

 

That's awesome, great job.

 

Really? Yeah I would definitely take you up on that my man. I'll PM you

 

Not sure if recall or ? But the concern is the broken springs can puncture the fuel tank. Somewhere I have the info, not sure where, but they can visually know based on the clamps if your spring is needing to be replaced.
