Snapped a leaf, what are my options?

So I guess I pushed it too much this weekend. My dad and I both hauled 6 truck loads of wood in our Tacomas this weekend......His passed the test, mine is showing its miles. I guess i pushed it too far. I just put 5100's on the front at 1.75" and don't want to have to sell them but i do think its a good time for a lift.

Any ideas on a small lift to take it from level to 2" more and still keep my new bilsteins up front?









I'm not real sure how it got out from under the shackle either.

 

Set the billys on 2.5 in the front and get a dakar or all pro leaf pack. Probably should get new 5100s for the rear too.

The dakar pack has 7 leafs on each side and gives almost 3 inches of lift. But its easy to remove a leaf or two.

I'm sure there are plenty more options out there, but I have Icon's 1.5 inch AAL in the rear. It just replaces the factory overload leaf, but it looks like you snapped the one above it so you may need a whole new pack. That is, unless you can find someone on here who is willing to sell you their factory leafs.

 

I am probably trying to stay away from 3" lifts due to the alignment problems I have been reading about. Would this be an issue?

How much of a rear lift will this give me?

 

Take that broken leaf put and put the pieces together and measure the length and width. Go to a junk yard and find an old f150 or chevy and snatch the leafs off of it. Go home cut a leaf to size and install. Repeat for both sides. And viola. Better load capacity and small amount of lift.

It's what i did to replace my sagging springs and now my truck is stock height and can handle all my stuff i put in it without hitting the stops

 

1 1/2" , with the option of removing a leaf for less lift

 

Lets say I go with the option of the OME N182's in the rear (which i believe is 2.75" lift) and then the Dakar Rear Leaf Pack. Will this option pair up or will i have issues? Will i still have to switch the front bilsteins to a larger height?

 

Those leafs and shocks were designed to work together

 

Great! Is there any known problems for this set up? Will the adjustable billies in the front work with these as well? I think i have them set at 1.75 right now to level.

 

You'll get 2 1/2" - 3" of rear lift with Dakars unless you remove leafs at which point I don't know why you wouldn't just get the Wheeler's HD pack

 

Yea i don't plan to remove any leafs. I figured i'll put the rear lift on then adjust my front bilsteins to where they need to be

 

I only trust myself so much

 

Snapped rear leafs seem to be going around. I did it last week. Same leaf and same side. I am thinking going with Wheelers HD out back for only a small lift or going local and having a custom set done.

 

OP how did you snap a leaf?

 

I guess I loaded it up a little too much with wood on Saturday. I did 6 truck loads. My dads 11' Tacoma did fine....My 09' seemed to be hurtin. Both the same truck just his is newer. Funny thing is I only had it loaded up just barely over the bed rails...Its a long bed

 

wheelers HD leaf pack for sure... ~ 1.5 to 2 in of lift and a much beefier leaf pack.

 

Who makes the wheelers pack anyways? Deaver?
