    I need to replace the leaf springs on my '08 Double Cab Long Bed. Unloaded they sit on the overload spring. I know there was a TSB, but I'm hoping to get some heavier duty springs, at least a 4 pack, and preferably a 5 pack because I load it up pretty heavy sometimes.

    Those of you who have had to replace the leaf springs, which brand did you use and how many springs?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    I put the OME Dakars on mine when I lifted it.
    It's a 7 pack that lifted it 3" and can handle a lot of weight without much sag.
    They also make an AAL to add to it if you really want to haul a lot of weight.

    you also have the option of pulling a leaf from the pack if the lift provided is too great for your application

    If I were you, I'd build my own leaf pack using your stock pack and a donor leaf pack from either a 1/2 or 3/4 ton pickup unless you want lift. If you want lift, check out the Dakars or the All Pro leaf packs.
