    So it appears I have a little "W" shape going on with my rear springs. 206k miles or so. Thoughts?

    Stock springs on Tacoma trucks are definitely not the highest quality.
    Look for something better

    I'm looking at:

    Deaver
    Dakar
    Alcan
    All Pro

    NOT General Spring, I've heard questionable things about their quality and customer service lately.

    Included is a shot of the truck. I'm not at all interested in raising the ride height.

    Call All Pro (they are probably the closest to you) and talk to them about your needs - aka Stock height replacement pack. Just because they don't list a stock height option doesn't mean they can't do it. If you were closer to Deaver, I would have said call Deaver. Can't go wrong with either of them.

    It's a bummer that these companies don't just have a stock height pack option. Whichever company did first, would get a big influx of people not wanting GS.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Easy swap.

    Depends on budget and your uses.

    If you need a hand let me know, I'm in the Central Valley.

    It's gonna go up some because your height NOW is below stock since the springs are clapped out.
