    Hello, the right leaf spring on my 2015 tacoma seems to be bad since its sagging to the right and I was wondering what leaf springs would you guys recommend.

    The tacoma is armored so it has a lot of extra weight I was thinking maybe some reinforced ones or ones with a higher weight limit?

    so i ordered some Old man Emu springs, ordered them from Extreme terrain, i often look for the open box stuff and then call. got both my spring for around $300 because they have "damage" and that is all paint scratches on the retainers.

    I have Deaver stage 3 U402's. First setup was stock leaf springs with an AAL, then I went to heavy duty Dakars and when those weren't enough to handle the weight, I went with the deavers.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    You can never go wrong with the Icon RXTs. They are adjustable if you start carrying more weight or want more lift

    so I been checking you guys recommendations and they all seem pretty good; it seems all the leaf springs I saw add lift so it means I’m gonna need a complete suspension kit you guys got any recommendation for those?

    you can order a custom leaf pack from Alcan for 0" (or more) lift with increased capacity.

    so lots of these will add a lift in the rear. might check even Ironman4x4 for their HD leaf pack that only is like 2.5 in. which is stills something that the oem shocks can handle. but a Bilstein 51XX shock will be a great addition as well

    You either go cheap ..or buy once cry once
    Bilstein for the stock weights
    OME /dobinsons for heavier

    Some guy like bilstein 51's with OME springs

    Buying a complete kit is the best value should be some springtime sales soon
