    My original leaf pack is blasted and I need to replace them. Ideally, I would have an OEM height without the overload leaf as I don't do any towing and would rather have a better ride if that even exists. Also, I would be willing to buy some take-offs from the site but I don't have enough posts to do that?

    i bought some 3rd Gen takeoff leaf’s, replaced the rear shocks with 5100s and installed the blue supersprings. I have a trailer that I occasionally use and have transported about a half a ton of corn for hunting. I bought the truck used and it came with Hellwig overload springs, which I thought we harsh and so did my wife. I love the current setup and the truck drives great.

    I don't use Facebook, unfortunately. I found a pull-a-part that had the OEM packs locally for $150 for the pair. Was hoping to go with something a bit more progressive (if that's the correct terminology) without the overload leaf but I'll run the new OEM for now with my new shocks.

    I got the dorman 3+1 (newer) version and am happy. Ride height and load capacity is same as original 2+1, but pretty sure there was a reason Toyota made the change. Pretty sure they are also made by general spring

    I just picked up a set of low mile OEM 3rd Gen leaf packs (3+1) and installed with new Bilstein 4600's, which are beefier than the stock TRD OR Bilstein shocks. Immediate noticeable difference compared to my original leaf packs (3+1) packs with 185K miles & OME Sport Nitrocharger shocks (these had about 85K miles). I started a WTB thread in the 3rd Gen Parts Marketplace forum.

    I'm in the same spot myself.

    On the lookout for some low milage take-offs.
