    Also, too dark for pics but spring isn't bent at all. Looks an awful lot like the one pictured above.

    Haha, well not really, these came off an early GMC not sure what year but doesn't matter I can tell their aftermarket leafs, just the deal was too good to pass up...:D


    Ok , good, then you're fix is easy, 2- chevy truck springs per side cut semetrically with the existing leafs & enjoy a 3" lift with a superior ride...

    Good Doug, just moved to UCSB. Just doing the whole college life thing for now :D.
    Truck's been sitting in the same spot for the past 2 weeks though.. Not much offroading, and i missed the pismo meet too.

    AAAAAND far upgraded carry capacity? I know it'll be better but what are we talking here? If you're equal to or greater than expos I'm totally in. But you gotta outperform in all the areas. I'm just doing my due diligence Doug, I'm sure you understand. But hopefully, whatever I end up with will stay on the truck a LOOOONG time. She's my taco.

    Ok , then this IS the fix, dump everything but the tacoma main leaf & back it up with 4 chevy springs per side, call it a day & the expos will fade away as a memory of something or other....you'll forget all about them.... NEXT !!...;)

    I can dig that. :)

    You'll be the one I call when I'm putting springs together. Just out of curiosity, why keep the main Tacoma leaf at all?

    this.

    the good springs will take care of your mainspring


    i helped CS jumper move last weekend and loaded some stuff into my truck.

    i have one spring added to my pack from doug and it works wonders. i kept the overload cause i tow a boat with it from time to time.

    when i do a full spring pack with doug ill lose the overload cause i wont need it with the awesomeness that is dougs packs!

    cant beat the price and superior performance to packs ive seen from some certain companies claiming to sell offroad and direct replacement springs meant to carry a load.
