    For those of you on the line about getting this suspensions I would definitely say I recommend it. I haven't offroaded it yet, but driving through the pot hole ridden south texas, and speeding up on speed bumps I can say this suspension rides very well. Well worth the money imo. My rear ride has been suffering, but that because I need to upgrade the leafs, I have the stock ones with an ebay AAL.

    Thanks for the comments on the ride quality!! Can you post up some photos of your ride, and the part numbers you're running so everyone else can see?

    Some goodies arrived today! Not sure where my other spring is, hopefully shows up today so I can install tomorrow.

    These springs are beefy and actual have an arch to them! Can't wait to install.

    They are they L59-111-R heavy duty springs, I think you can go one step above these and get the 112 extra heavy duty. Or with these remove 4th leaf down to make them medium duty.

    @Crikeymike Any plans for a softer than OEM spec leaf spring that still gives 2" or so lift? A comfort ride lift spring for trucks that do not carry any additional weight. Maybe something like the Deaver J66 but with 2-3" lift....

    Looks like no install for me today, seems like Fedex has lost one of my springs. It has no delivery scheduled now and is currently in Illinois. My other spring went to NC Then to VA, not NC TO IL. Makes me mad, I've had such bad luck getting leaf's for this truck.

    Hopefully install next weekend!

    No, no plans for any other packs.

    What you're describing is close to the 110R springs but not softer than stock. Softer with lift would not hold up very well over time IMO

    It astounds me that with the systems they use for label scanning and sorting that parts still end up on the wrong trucks. Must be because the leaf springs can't be handled and sorted by machines, only by hand, adding human error. Sucks that the one spring is delayed

    I agree as I had the same thought. The Taco is my wife's truck so she's more bummed then me lol, they delivered 1 spring yesterday on 1 truck and then the box with u-bolts and bushings on another truck an hour later.

    The spring I got you guys did a nice job packaging, its not banged or scratched up at all.

    FedEx lost two wheels and tires of mine. They were for a 350Z I had and I got one front and one rear, the rest never came. They legit LOST two wheels and tires that were never seen again.

    That's just crazy something like that could go "missing."

    I can still track mine, now its in Kansas. It went from Illinois to Kansas so looks like they have it heading west instead of back east to me.

    Update, decided to call fedex, my leafspring is in Henderson Colorado. That station is supposed to call me to let me know what's up.

    Just want to thank Mike. He provided a lot of help deciding on a front suspension setup. I highly recommend using him and Exit Offroad.
