    Just found leaf springs for sale from a 2017 TRD OR with 29,000 miles for $100. My 95.5 2.7L 4x4 has some "taco lean" to the left and my mechanic suggested getting the leafs "tightened/adjusted" on the left side due to a slight sag (He was also open to putting a spacer in the front). My truck is totally stock. Would this be a possible or worthy upgrade? Hoping it might also help the lean? I'm pretty mechanically illiterate so any help would be appreciated!

    Google “General Springs”. Select something made for your year.

    Won’t work. You’re putting springs meant for a bigger mid size truck onto a compact truck. Don’t think the eyes would even line up unless you weld new ones on.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Completely different truck, different mounting, different length, different weight and payload.

    Till you got done doing all the fabrication buying all the new hardware.

    If you could do all the work yourself you would have just put them on adjusted the spring pack for the ride you needed

    Your cheaper just getting the correct springs for your application .
