    I recently installed some Fox Pro shocks expecting them to improve the jarring/jittery ride of my TRD Sport. The back still feels pretty jittery although not quite as rough. I am currently still using the OEM leaf springs and I'm wondering if they could be the problem. The rear end is sitting a half inch low on the passenger side which seems suspect. And I noticed this gap in the leaf on that side. Does that look normal?

    Looks like you need new leaf springs.

    Once I installed the pro leaf springs the ride got much better. Everything kinda smoothed out. I was surprised that they made such a difference.

    I think the springs are the same for each trim. The shocks are the only difference I believe.

    They have different part numbers and a couple small differences but the number of springs in the pack is the same. It's possible that the main reason that I felt a difference was that my old ones were possibly blown.
