    Hello everyone. Just joined because I bought a 98 Tacoma extra cab. It needs the frame caps but I'm a welder so it's right up my alley. I brought it home today and pulled the bed off and got started. My first question is what's the best route for getting some better leaf springs? It being Saturday the local pickup city junk yard is closed. Is there somewhere I could buy some good used springs, or what way should I look. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    How you want to use the truck can play a role in spring choice.

    Give some specifics and you will likely get some good suggestions.

    It's going to be a work truck. Not much off roading or anything crazy.
