Hi all,
I am replacing the leaf springs on my wife's 97 Taco. They were reversed arched.

I would like something heftier since the old ones were insufficient. It only has 160K mi on it. Just purchased it.

It seems that the 4WD leaf springs are much more ubiquitous than the 2WD ones. Finding the 2WD springs has felt like hunting for jackalope.

I just noticed that the dimensions/specs on the 2WD are almost the exact same as those for the 4WD. The only difference is the 4WD has an extra leaf (which I was going to add anyway).

Can I use the 4WD leaf spings??? If anyone has good info on this I would greatly appreciate it.
