    Anybody have any luck finding replacement springs for a 2017 trd pro? Looking to stay with oem or oem specs.

    Not under warranty and they only sell the entire strut. Can't seem to find anyplace with just the springs. Going to contact a local spring shop tomorrow and see if I can get some made. Otherwise go with the eibach lift springs.

    Doesn't eibach make lift springs for these? Might be the cheapest route, and you will get some lift.

    Im betting you can get a better spring for the price of the OEM replacement.

    Tried calling fox, they won't sell just the springs. Tried toyota and local dealers, all won't sell just springs. Will get the eibach lift springs if I can't find "stock" replacements.

    How much they quote for service? That eventually will put the spring on the quote.

    Same thing happen to my friends 17 trd pro. He took it in for inspection at the dealer and they replaced the strut and spring. I think he said it was like 700 for it not including labor

    My local dealership literally told me to sit down before telling me the cost of the strut. It was 1050cad for the part only. So if I can't find some springs will go with either the eibach lift springs, but I don't really want to run a block in the rear or upgrade to elka 2.5 remote reservoirs.

    Call Fox back and ask for the spring specs. Then seek an aftermarket with the same dimensions and very close spring rate

    You can find a replacement spring from Hyperco, Eibach, Draco, and many others. Check off-road or car shops that sell coilovers to find spring dealers. Just a coilover spring with the right ID will fit and then match up the free length and rate as close as you can. Should be under $100. This is such an easy fix, don't waste unnecessary money or time.

    I was talking about fox quote. Dude you could talk to @WormSquirts maybe he can point you in the right direction without talking to dealers that are overcharging for something extremely simple and easy to address. He’s in BC as well. https://overlandoutfitters.ca/
