Gen 2 Leaf Springs

Looking to replace my stock 2012 DCSB TRD OR with leaf springs from a 2022 TRD Sport. Is this going to work? Every thread I've seen says 2005+ are all the same size.

 

Yup, they'll work just fine. Part numbers are different but fitment is the same.

 

Yup

 

Why. Toyota already has a recall to replace yours for free.
And you can put AAL.
OR is progressive springrate. Sport is linear.

AAL may be easier, possibly cheaper. And sellable later if you go RXT.
I found my RXT cheap used. Seen them in junkyards also.

they probably do work

Super helpful thread that I somehow never found, thank you! Also the leafs did come with the shocks, struts, and all the hardware so going to replace it all! Looking forward to no more rear sag. My vehicle is 2012 with 170k miles so 2022 <3k miles should be a big difference.

 

Progressive vs linear is only the front coils.

OP might not want to lift his truck at all hence the new take offs. There is no open recall for leafs on the 2012+ trucks.

Yes OP they will fit.

 

I don’t think I have heard of progressive and linear leaf springs before.
I can be uninformed tho.

But yes should fit regardless of TRD OR or SPORT. Just don’t go with sport shocks (black and blue) they are awful!

 

Got everything put on yesterday (including the shocks, still better than my 170k shocks). Gained 2 1/4" height in the rear! It overall feels way nicer, like I have a new truck. Took the opportunity while the spare was off and the axle was down to do some rust cleanup and prevention. Very pleased with how everything turned out! Thanks again everyone for the quick replies which made me feel confident to go with the used parts. $250 for the whole haul!
