    Well if your building off just the main , you can add 3 or 4 donor springs (or more) but remember this is for building a more aggressive spring..

    Like I mentioned many pages ago, the first 2" of the stock leafs gives a nice comfortable ride, anything beyond that sucks... too soft, too spongy, bottom out.. etc;

    If I were you , I'd just add the 2 per side.....

    So your doing this for people then? whats the rate?

    I have a 2000 Tacoma SR5 Regualr cab and the rear is saggin with my shell and shocks are all wornout. was going to throw some 881 and bilstien 5100s on the front hoping for 2" lift and have some adjustability. and need to help rear out to match.

    It sounds simple enough but depending on cost i might just have you do it.

    its pretty straight forward install wise, & yeah I've put together a couple spring kits for members & currently get $225.00 per kit & it comes with most of what you need. (with the exception of extended shocks/brake line & BPV relocation bracket, Jerry (JLee) has an excellent bracket he sells here onsite

    No. The 1st gens are not equal distance from center pin. 2nd gen are equal distance from center pin.

    Well aside from a fair amount of rust (which I'd expect to see from your region) Your springs aren't too sacked & with the TSB you have I'd add 1 Chevy spring per side, this'll def. bring you up an 1.5". Be prepared for buying some extended shocks & possibly ext brakeline too..
