    i'm not entirely sure about this, but i'm pretty sure the 3 springs in the older model was a mistake by toyota and they were replaced with four spring packs under tsb because the 3 springs bottomed out under load? i think therefore 4 spring would be prefered? or are you talking about a leaf pack replacement?
