Can I upgrade to better leafs? 2.4

I have a 96 2.4 5 lug and I use it for work but I've noticed quite the sag in the rear end from the weight on some days. Is it possible to swap the leafs in the back for better results? Would I have to upgrade the front as well?

Don't have much knowledge on suspension. Thanks

Shop around several options! Custom Leaf Pack built for your needs. General Spring Heavy duty springs .

How much extra weight do you need to carry?

Does your front Suspension carry extra weight?? Any plans to add roof rack supports to the front of the truck?

If not the front coil overs and shocks might just needed changed not upgraded if they are still original .

Good Luck!

 

IMO I would upgrade to some ma727 airshocks when you have a heavy load. I use them and love em. 25psi empty and 65-70psi when loaded

 

I've heard a lot on those. How hard are they to install?

 

They are a bolt on, then run the 2 air line to the "T" fitting and done. I mount mine on a rear tag bolt hole. These work for the 89-04 pickup/tacoma.

 

They're rather cheap too. Nice, I'll look into these. Thanks

 

I hope you have air at home or maybe a engine driven compressor for work.

Finding self service air that still works around here is very difficult.

 

I carry around a dewalt tire pump. One of those ones that look like a boombox

 

i don't really have much knowledge about suspension either, i think you could find some new rear spings with more than two leaves. also, nice truck, i always liked the 5 lug extended cabs

 

Thanks! Yea I have some decisions to make.

 

I put an inexpensive Add A Leaf kit on my 1994 extended cab 5-lug 2WD pickup and it gave me the 1.5” lift I was looking for to match the front height. It also gave me some additional load capability.

might be something to consider?

Here is the one I plan to install on my Taco this weekend

$70 ADD A LEAF HELPER SPRING LIFT KIT - LONG - COMPATIBLE WITH GM 1500 F150 TACOMA - 1.5" REAR
