    Hey guys.

    I just bought some OME leaf springs.

    Is this normal? One leaf spring had a total of 7 leaf springs, they are all spaced out.

    While the other leaf spring has a total of 6 leafs springs and they are not spaced out.

    Is this normal? This is my first time buying a set of leafs springs so I have no clue is this is normal. Some advice would be great appreciated.

    Side by side comparison seems like rhe one without spacers is smaller.

    Part numbers easily state one is for your truck and the other for an 05-15 Hilux.

    They goofed up; some dude or gal with a Hilux is wondering why they've got a 1st Gen Tacoma leaf.

    Ok so upon further inspection there's a barcode on one and it says Toyota Hilux 05.

    It's the leaf springs without spacers... thus I just my friggin luck. Because I needed to install these today for a cross country trip I'm making next week.

    Will my tacoma support the weight? I'm going to haul approximately 3,000lbs of stuff both combined trailer and my items. I don't know if my leaf springs will take the stress from Florida to Arizona.

    Sadly this seems to happen far to often.
