    Should I get new leafs? Or, ride on? I do haul a lot of corn to the woods and tow a utility trailer with ATV. The arse end sags and drops real easy under load.
    201k miles on, just debating the investment......

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I think mine are more dead than yours and I am forced to drive on them (no spare vehicle and no money for leafs). If you are just driving and not hauling don't worry about it too much.

    On a side note, if anybody has a pair of 95-97 stock leafs they would like to donate, I would much appreciate it.

    If you were closer, you could have my old leaf springs, they are a little worn out, but at least they are in better shape than your are! Any trips to central CO planned?

    I've been debating on getting new ones myself. or just wait for next year and plan a small lift. it rides a little rough (121k on factory suspension) but tolerable and I usually do not carry load or my trailer that often.
