Leaf Spring Suggestions

Son's Tacoma has a broken leaf spring by the gas tank (2012). I know there was a recall for previous years due to this same problem, but none for him for now.

Has Bilstein 5100s and rear and 1" blocks. He's a broke young 18 year old so cost effective is key lol. Thanks

 

New leaf packs are expensive. You can try a salvage yard for a OEM leaf pack then put in an add a leaf to lift without blocks. That’s probably the least expensive option.

 

Look for OEM take offs.

 

Facebook marketplace, B/S/T forum on here, local sale/trade sites for your town. New is $$$ for a broke 18 yr.old.

 

3rd gen leafs will work as well. They run about 200 in my area.

 

What did Toyota stop the recall? I thought it was still on going.

 

3rd gen leaf springs will lift the back of a 2nd gen around 3/4".

The recall was on 2 +1 leaf packs and were replaced with 3 + 1 leaf packs.

Lift blocks are a really bad idea on the back of Tacomas due to axle wrap issues. Ditch the 1" block and install 3rd gen leaf springs and he'll notice a positive difference.

 

time for pop to step up , a gifted new leaf pac is in order

 

Found brand new 4leaf take offs for $300 Thanks folks.
