Could use some advise and different opinions... Please

Hi everyone from outside Philadelphia,

My 2103 needs leaf springs. It squeaks over bumps at slower speeds, and it bottoms out on bumps that shouldn't bottom this truck out by a longshot. I took it to my guy and he quoted me about $900.

Is that a fair price?

Is there another option to stiffen up the suspension?

Should I address the front while I'm at it?

I've had it since May of 2020 and this is my first truck. I welcome any and all advise and opinions.

Thanks for your time and I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Take care,
Jim

 

Watch a youtube vid on it, its pretty easy. $900 seems about right for philly cus its probably a bitch to take out the bolts cus of rust. A blow torch and a grinder. I personally think its easy diy, save youreself 600$.

 

If you can do it your self you can save money. Else you pay for the convenience of paying someone to do it for you. $900? You should be getting all new bushing's & U-bolts. I replaced the shackles and bump stop(s) while I was in there.

If you want a lift do it now while the leaf springs are being replaced.

 

Check the local Toyota dealer.

There was a TSB/Warranty on Leaf Springs......it may apply to your truck.

 

900 to replace or for the leaf packs or both. A good set of leaf springs will range from 500-1000 depending on manufacturer plus install if you don’t do it yourself.
