    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Welcome! Any decent truck spring shop can re-arch and add a leaf for about $350.

    A Toyota dealer doesn't do 'mods'. They will only replace old stock parts with new stock parts, which may not fix your problem.

    What makes you think the springs are 'weak'? Maybe your shocks are worn out. Have you crawled under there to check out the springs leaves? Maybe one is broken. Take a photo of the spring pack, and post it on here.
