Leaf springs

I have another question. Can I put leaf springs taken off a 2023 trd Tacoma and put them on a 1995 single cab 4x4?

 

The whole leaf pack? No. Infact, getting leaf springs for pre 97-98 trucks is difficult. They moved the front spring hanger sometime in 97-98.

Your best bet is actually to find a local spring shop and see if they can custom make you a pack, or see if they can service/re-arch your existing packs.

 

I bought for my 96 tacoma , google General Spring its in Kansas City......about 110 bucks a side .

 

ah- nice to know they have pre 98 springs.

 

Not without lots of Fabrication.

If you can not do it yourself or real cheap .

The correct springs will be much cheaper.

 

Does anyone know what years leaf springs will go on a 95 regular cab 4x4?

 

It was mentioned above.

1995.5 to 1997 use the same leaf pack, 1998 and above use a different leaf pack.

This is of course, assuming your 95 is a Tacoma and not a Pick Up.

The earliest variant is a "1995.5".

 

Yes it's a tacoma 4x4

 

I have a 95.5 Tacoma and I've replaced the leaf springs averaging about every 12 years. (Yes, I've had it since new) So far, my garage has not had trouble sourcing them. I'm sorry, I cannot direct you to where they were from.

 

I find that if anything is discontinued and there's no replacement listed on rockauto then I'm not going to find it anywhere.

 

Can I use leaf springs that came off an 89 Toyota?

 

They will not be a direct swap/fit

Just find a spring company and have them make you a pack, if you live in a big city or near one there are likely some local options. Or a company like General Springs will have an OE style option to order.

 

You were already given the information needed for which replacement leaf springs to use.

Using old leaf springs from an old truck is going backwards, why?

 

Low on funds. Is my main issue at this time.

 

Cheapest option I've seen (but not had done personally) is getting a local shop to re-arc them.

You'll want new u bolts though.

 

^^ x2

or just slap an add-a-leaf on each side to keep it from sagging, but neither should be looked at as a long term solution. New pack is the way to go and General Springs is probably the cheapest bet I know of, unless you can get cheaper quotes from a local shop. Shipping on something as heavy as leaf springs isn't cheap.

finding used leaf packs off an old vehicle like another Tacoma probably won't last you very long if they're even better than yours to begin with. Unless you find some uncommonly low mileage ones

 

If you are local to socal I have some old All Pro Expos buried under a pile of leaves in my backyard you could come and grab for free lol. At least I think I do, got rid of a bunch of that stuff awhile back.

 

Won't fit, she needs a 95.5 to 97 leaf pack.

 

Ah yeah good call, missed that part

 

I bought mine for my 96 late last year from general springs. That was the best deal I could find. The shipping is what hurts. Hopefully yours aren’t broken like mine were
