OME Leaf Springs 46RA & 46RB

just pick up OME leaf spring CSO46RA & RB FOR 2001 TACO

Just want to know if theres a Left & right on these spring the guy said
no theres not ?


Thanks Tman914

 

I believe one has a + sign on it and I think that is the driver side. Also when you set them on the ground one should have a little bit more arch to it to support the extra weight of the driver side. You can also PM box rocket, he would know for sure.

 

"A" is drivers side, "B" is passenger side.

 

This is correct.

 

the + sign indicates the front of the leaf spring. The left bushing on this picture goes first

 

Good call. I had the work truck with me so I couldn't look and I couldn't remember when I put mine on.

 

Thanks Guys for your help im going to install these leaf spring this saturday morning before the Livermore, Ca Heat also is there any thing else i should know. The "U" bolts is a torq: spect on this ?

 

Make sure you spray the bolts with penetrating oil. I had to cut both of the forward leaf spring bolts off with a grinder because they would not break free. Then since I had to do that I needed new bolts. Those bolts were hard to find where I live. Ended up ordering them from the toyota dealership for $45!

Torque specs are as follows:
U-bolts: 90 ft lbs
Forward leaf bolt: 116 ft lbs
Rear leaf shackle bolts: 67 ft lbs

 

thanks bro for the info on the Torque specs

 

I found the factory U bolts to be too short to feel good about them. The OME's are a good deal thicker than the factory packs. I went with longer U bolts from Toytec.

Good luck with this. Those front eye bolts can be a pain.

 

Is this a factory ride height spring?

 

sorry guys i a 6" fabtech lift that came with a add leaf and 3" block , did some yard work a few year ago before i lift it and the dump ass at yard over loaded my truck i was not looking until it was to late and my stock leaf spring where bent over . did not think nothing over it until i lifted it , so "U" bolts came with the lift and the new leafs are 2.25

 

Thanks you guys and thanks 4 wheels parts for the hook up on the old man EMU leafs
springs just got done installing them finally had some time and WOW its sit really nice now very happy

 

Just ordered and installed these springs, love them! But...They did not include the rear shackle bushings, is this normal? I had to install inferior bushings from Advance auto that I am not happy with. Also, getting squeaking from the shackle bolts, need to lube?

 

Oof

7 1/2 year old thread.

Correct, the leaf springs do not come with rear bushings due to some using stock shackles and others using aftermarket shackles.

Greasable shackles exist btw.
