    hello, I am not new to the Tacoma, just how to take care of them or get any straight answers as to how best to proceed in maintaining them. I am the proud 18 year owner of a 2001 Tacoma Dbl Cab and have done relatively little to it other then a nice set of wheels and tires with a 1.5" lift. Recently I have found a little extra cash to put into the truck and have replaced the front rocker arms and now need to replace the rear springs. So here is where I need help. Is there a site that lets me know exactly what my 2001 Tacoma has or needs in replacement? I don't necessarily trust the sites themselves to tell me if a part fits or not. I have found both a passenger and driver side leaf spring replacement, as well as a single unit interchangeable. So which is it? I trust the likes of enthusiasts like yourselves but would also like the ability to figure it out for myself. Any help to a new toyota fixer upper, and new member on this forum is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld!

    Not sure if it will help you or not, but I found this thread on 1st gen springs. If you can’t find an answer, you might be better of posting your question in the 1st gen section or suspension section.

    Welcome.
    Just a note. I believe you are referring to Control arms (ie: UCA), not rocker arms. Rocker arms are the things that go between the push rods and the valves inside of the engine.
