    my biggest issue is my rear leaf springs, but would consider doing the front and back. What are my options?

    Is your truck a prerunner? 5 lug? Do you want lift? Stock hight? Budget? What is your real issue you didnt say much.

    Thanks. It's a 5 lug with 14" rims. My rear is sagging and loose. I don't think I want to lift it much. I wouldn't mind larger rims/tires, but I don't want to have to change the gearing, etc. I mostly just want to tighten it up, be able to carry some load and handle some off pavement trips. I have had multiple 4x4 pickups and hope to have a 4x4 tacoma some day, so I'm not looking to go to that far. I have just over 100K, so I'm willing to put some money in to it. I'm having a hard time finding options for a 2wd. It spent it's formative years on a hobby vineyard. It was used infrequently, but was overloaded when it was.

    You can get a leaf spring helper to increase carry load for a cheap option. Otherwise if the leaf packs are shot then you need to have them re arched or get new oem leaf packs. I dont have much knowledge on 5 lug tacomas as to lifts for them ect if you wanted a lift for bigger tires.
