    Hello all. I'm new to this forum but not to toyota. I had own two 4runners and now have a 2002 tacoma DLX. The only problem I am facing with it is that it's too low to the ground and I really don't want to get rid of it cause of a few mods I put on it. It's still has stock suspension on it and the rear is sagging and flattened out due to the weight I have in the bed all the time with a camper shell on it. I have the suspension to a 2008 TRD 4x4 and was wondering of I could put the leaf springs on my truck. Any help please??

    Yea I measures the centers and the 2008 springs are dead center while mine are off set I also found out that my springs got flattened which explains the harsh driving I feel in the rear. Now I really need to find some springs for my truck I need more of a stronger duty spring than what is on it that will provide about 3 inches of lift and can withhold a decent amount of towing

    Check out ToyTec. They make entire leaf packs, as well as add-a-leafs to add to existing leaf packs.
