Skyjacker Rear Leaf Springs

Hello. I have a 2011 Tacoma with 98000 miles and non-tsb leaves that are needing some attention. Not really looking for a lot of lift but need something better than the stock springs for payload and towing. The Skyjackers have a good price at autoanything right now. Anybody running these? Any other suggestions?

 

Bump

 

I hear they are more or less a replacement spring that gives a little lift. They don't offer any additional support for loads.

 

I went ahead and ordered these and will hopefully be able to give a decent review after I get them installed. Does anyone know if stock length u bolts will work or the length that i will need? This is going from non-tsb to 1.5 to 2 inches of lift.

 

I've had the Skyjackler 3" suspension lift w/aal for over a year and the aal has drastically improved the towing ability of the taco. I've driven to Pa from La pulling a 4x8 closed in trailer and the ride and handling was significantly better. I also pull an 18 ft boat, 8x12 utility trailer on a daily basis and the skyjacker install has made a world of difference. My driving habits are mostly hwy, gravel and dirt roads. It's doing the job I need it to do.

 

Did you get these installed? How much lift did you get?

 

Yes. I installed them and they work much better than the stock springs. I got around 1 1/2 lift from them. They help a lot when it comes to carrying a load. Matched the front with some bilsteins set at 0 and eibach springs.

 

Great! I keep looking at different places and some say with bushings. Some say without. Did yours come with them?

 

Mine came with bushing.

 

Auto anything told me they don't. Interesting! Thanks man.

 

Hmmmm. That's weird. It has been a while since I ordered them but at that time they did.

 

The posting is kind of confusing. It talks about for front or rear. I'm thinking (from what I've read) that fronts don't come with bushings. Meaning other vehicles that have front leaves. Kinda like a generic statement for all of their springs

 

The leaf springs are for the rear. The bushings were for the leaf springs. I' saying that it matches nicely with eibach springs for the front with bilstein 5100s set at 0.

 

Do they squeak?

 

I've had them installed for 2 years and they are still quiet.

 

Nice

 

1 1/2" lift from 2+1 oem springs correct? I've got recall 3+1 oem springs. What are your hub to fender measurements with those skyjackers? I'm sitting at 21.75" with a roll up toneau cover installed. Recall springs are about 1.5 years old. Just tying to figure out how much more lift can I expect from these.

 

Ok... I received my skyjacker leaf springs yesterday. I still need to order u bolts. I seem to be getting conflicting information. Some websites have them at 2 1/2 inch width. I measured them and they appear to be measuring 2 3/8, which is what skyjacker website says they are. Now.. Which u bolt do I need to order? 2 1/2 inch or 2 3/8 inch? Thanks again.

 

I got my u bolts from wheelers offroad.

 

Thanks. Got my springs from summit racing. Had them in 3 days. Ordered u bolts from ATS springs. Should be here in another day or two. Then time to get to work. I just went to their website and their torque matches new tacoma specs at 52 lbs.
Next is new bilsteins.
