    Same here. They are 4 now instead of 3, but super saggy it seems to me. Not impressed. Shit runny black paint on them. Left the factory stickers on them too, when I wiped it off with Goof Off, the paint came off. I sprayed it with black spray paint. Oh well they were free.

    Frame rust recall campaign was 2005-2008. Ended March 31st, 2016 as far as I know. The leaf springs came with the frame. Unsure of the details on the leaf springs, since mine was taken care of it doesn't show up on the site anymore. Check www.toyota.com/owners and enter your info to find details about your VIN.

    So far no paint missing 2yrs+ and never noticed any runs in paint...that'd bug me.

    Rec'd the 4 leaf with my new frame.
    Rides better than new,but the question is how they do with weight in the bed.
    With my old springs,I could not put my 4 wheeler in the bed without it bottoming out.
