@Jim=2015 TRD PRO if a TW Express can be arranged for @emmett and we can help him out with some overdue needed suspension he can for sure have them, plus you offered them to him first but if for some reason it doesn't pan out, keep me in mind

 

they are the more cost effective leafs out there, but if you score cheap suspension components money could be diverted to new leafs.

@Jim=2015 TRD PRO is there a part number on those leafs? they look like OME

 

@Jim=2015 TRD PRO are u and @RobP62 near each other in MD? My grandma lives in Brick, NJ and i need to go get a little boat from her house so it wouldnt be too bad of an Express if someone happens to be going to NJ. if not i could get them when i get the boat this spring unless thats too far away (time wise).

 

actually now that I take a closer look they look like just the stock leaf springs ?

 

We are about an hour from each other but we could make this work.

You guys are too cute

Turns out the 14 pancake recipe only made 6 - 6" pancakes after I added a pound of fresh blueberries.

 

Without a doubt Jim and I can hook up. Not a question. Getting the shipment to NJ should not be a problem either.

Let's just get the brain trust to sign off first so @emmett is satisfied with the deal.

 

@emmett if you run ur VIN here, then it should tell you if the leaf spring recall was ever done

doesnt seem to unless i log in or something... ill figure it out later. gonna go surf for a few

 

But then the rear would be lifted a shit ton and the front only an in. give or take.

 

yeah I don't remember if I had to create an account. its not a bad idea tho cuz it helps them keep track of you to send you recall or TSB information

 

nuh uh! ur wrong I swear! hahaha start taking out leafs? hahahaha it would lift him about 2.75" in the back and the 1'' lift up front. so he would have like 3.75'' of rake. that's taking the 2'' factory rake into account. its all give or take.

this was mine lifted just in the rear with a 3 leaf AAL which got my 2.75'' of lift in the back and 0 lift up front

 

it worked and it looks like the leafs were replaced in 2014... maybe just my shocks are shot?

im thinking new shocks and an AAL is the way to go?

 

honestly, I would really consider upgrading those rear leaf's if ur going to have that much weight back there. the stock leafs werent designed to have that much constant load on them. your leafs are riding on ur overload spring hahah and they are only 5 years old. AAL's will help but they will eventually sag as well, they don't increase the payload of the stock leafs. a good place to start since ur on a budget would be to pick up the suspension that has been offered to you in this thread and slowly upgrade over time. keep an eye on the buy and sell thread cuz good things come up for good prices. I would aim for some 5100's upfront with OME 885 or 884's and some dakars in the rear. but it all comes down to what you want/budget/how you use the truck.
