    I have a 2nd gen Tacoma and want to replace the shocks and leaf springs. I am having some sag in the back end. I want to keep stock height or close to it. I know the front 3rd gen adds about an inch of height, but what about the leaf springs? I don’t want a squatted truck look at all, but not trying to get a stink bug look either.

    I can get take off 2020/21 suspension under $200 and wondering is it’s worth it for the leaf springs or not.

    Rusted alloy, from that thread I think some people did an AAL to the 2nd gen leafs instead of using the 3rd gen. I’m not sure how the truck will look using 3rd gen components all around. Maybe a little squatted in the rear since the 3rd gen adds about an inch up front.
