    Even with the upgraded leaves, you'll still have plenty of sag when loaded. There are also various helper springs you can attach, but I liked the Timbren system best.

    If you get warranty springs they will be a crappy new version of the crappy old springs you already have (perhaps with an extra leaf... still junk)

    Buy good aftermarket heavy duty springs OME Heavys, Deavers, Icon etc and you'll be much better off.

    3 yards of sand/gravel is a lot to get in a Tacoma, at 1.3 tonnes per yard you are really overloading it. Perhaps a dump trailer is in order. :notsure:
