Looking for a decent aftermarket 3 leaf spring system that doesn't break the bank.

    My springs have flattened right out. I will be towing.
    Looking for a good 3 leaf spring option. I know nothing of springs.

    Recommendations ????

    Tacoma leaf springs don't come with much of an arch. They are flat-ish from the factory, built for comfort.
    Most people want a lift or more weight bearing, so they get a thicker leaf pack. If you want to stay with 3 leaf, you may want to get some airbags.
    Contact Deaver or another custom leaf company if you are set on replacing your pack. They can make a recommendation based on your use of the truck and your desired ride.

    I got into a situation in telegraph creek last year where it was necessary to hook up to a trailer I had no business pulling. I had to replace all my u-joints 2 days later.
    When I say flat I mean with a hint of going the other way.
    Deaver kinda looks like a bank breaker for me. Thanks though.

    Head over to the Buy/Sell/Trade thread.
    Lots of guys have factory takeoffs. Some of them are brand new when they yank them to install a lift.
