    I have a 97, i got the expos. The new mounts arent really hard to put on, you just have to follow the directions exactly! And the measurements have to be pretty much exact, but otherwise their great! U can get the ones for your truck model and itll be much easier! :thumbsup:

    Ok I think 1st year TRD models (98?) thru 04' are the same as far as lengths go, my junk yard spring MOD is for using your existing leafs (even if somewhat sacked) & adding 2 additional springs per side, you can still use your stock U bolts if theres not too much thread stretch , although new,slightly longer bolts would be best of course, allowing the overload to remain, be ready for a possible 3"-4" increase in lift. Overall length of pre 98' springs may be shorter & the spring alignment pin maybe straight as opposed to the offset springs 98' -04' TRD's have....;)
