    So i got a letter in the mail today about a recall on my leaf springs for my 06 toyota tacoma. I planned on buying all pro expo lefs would toyota reimburse me for the all pro leafs if i say the reason for buying them was because of the recall? ( the oem ones are on backorder right now)

    Only the dealer or Toyota corporate can truly answer that question. Highly doubtful IMO but you never know.

    The example posted above is somebody repairing their Toyota pack , not somebody buying Expos and sending Toyota the bill but good luck

    So you're not trying to get reimbursed for your aftermarket leaf springs ?

    I havnt ordered them yet. I called and toyota said they would reimburse me for aftermarket leaf springs. I was joking about breaking mine. I made this thread to see if anyone else has done this.

    yeah I know toyota is not going to pay for your new springs unless yours have broken and they are replaced with like OEM replacements or a fix. Must be a Bernie supporter. I want something for free.

    Will the 4" lift blocks he is currently running affect his chances of a successful claim?

    Not for the replacement of the factory springs. But that also depends on the dealership.

    Why would i want them to replace them with another oem when im just going to take them back off. I plan on getting new leaf springs anyway cause mine sound terrible they'll probably break before this year is over anyway. So if i can get reimbursed some of the money for aftermarket leafs why the hell wouldnt i want it?
