    There's always the recall option if you just want stock.

    I will say with leafs you are definitely gonna get what you pay for, biggest thing would be find some company with a sale that will ship leaf springs for free, otherwise expect to pay 100 bucks for shipping.

    I really like my wheelers off road 3 leaf progressive AAL paired with my TSB springs. But if yours broke, I've heard good things about OME

    Wasn't there an actual recall on the tsb springs for them breaking? I thought it was because of the chance of puncturing the gas tank.
    I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time...

    That was the TSB. The standard 3 leaf pack was replaced with a 4 leaf pack with an extra bracket to keep the leaf in place if one broke.




    If memory is correct in 2013 the TSB packs were already installed in TRD Sports. Only the SR5 and TRD OR trucks still had a 3 leaf pack, and base model trucks (assumedly). In 2014 all trucks came with the 4 leaf pack.

    7 years and 3 kids ago so I may not be remembering 100%, but I’m fairly sure that is accurate.

    Found this... Thanks Google. My frame was replaced in '14 and they put 4 leaf springs on at the time.

    There was a TSB for sagging springs that got you upgraded springs, the Rear Spring Harsh Ride TSB. You'd get a 4-leaf pack to replace the 3-leaf that were sagging and riding on the bump stops.

    There was also a recall for springs fracturing due to corrosion. That's Recall E02. There were different rear spring packs they'd give you depending on if you had the upgraded rear springs or not.

    This is the concern about the broken springs in the recall and the replacement packs have extra clips to prevent this.

    There's 3 different part numbers for the recall springs.

    The recall PDF is attached.

    It is if you’re familiar with leaf springs and model years..
