    What are the dimensions of a 2011-14 tacoma, access cab 4WD's leaf spring?

    What I mean is overall length, and the distance from the center of the spring to the front shackle and the distance from the center of the spring to the rear shackles.

    The reason why I am asking is because I plan to put on narrower leafs, looking at overall lengths between 42-46 inches on a second generation 4wd.

    Is it possible to put in narrower 66-77 Ford Bronco leaf springs on a second gen Tacoma? I am not into the whole thing on flexing, but I am looking for narrower leafs so that I can cut more frame behind the rear leaf spring shackles to improve approach/departure angles.

    The narrower Ford Bronco leafs are 21-24 inch from center to front shackle and 21-24 inch from center to rear shackle.

    Also, I understand that the stock second gen leafs are 27.5 inch from both center to rear and front shackles.

    What is your advice on this? Can this be done.
