Replacement Rear Leaf Springs

Hey everybody! I need help. Dropped my 2013 Tacoma DCLB off at the dealer for an oil change and a rear leaf spring squeak issue. Just got off the phone with the service manager and he said a spring dampener is seized and the only way to fix it is to replace the leaf spring pack at $963.00. They also recommend replacing both sides (naturally!!). So needless to say I'm not getting them replaced at the dealership. So what I need from you guys is an idea on what brand or company I could look at to replace the rear leaf springs. I really don't want to lift the truck but I do need to "stiffen up" the rear suspension (it feels like I bottom out if I hit a bump with about 400 lbs in the bed). Any advise would be greatly appreciated........

 

Dakar. Get Dakar leaf springs. Cheaper and far better.

 

Whoa!....those damn stealerships just love sticking it to us customers (that is if we allow them to).

I just had both sets of leaf springs replaced at the dealership a couple weeks back but that was due to an actual "Recall" for my year Tacoma 2008.

Check to see if by chance your year Tacoma might have a recall notice also? See if you can get them replaced for free?

If not, well as you stated get the job done yourself but be prepared for spend some $ on the replacement parts from the dealer?
If not maybe you find them for a lot less $ some where else?

Fuck the dealership!

Good Luck!

 

13's arent on the recall list but I do highly recommend old man emu dakars
