Tacoma Leafs

[bonejoe18]

has anyone tried using tacoma leafs on the rear of an older toy.What do you think?

[robrocketanski]

careful, there was a tsb for broken leaves on 95-6 or 7. but i was considering it. they seem a little flat though.

i put em in almost every toy i,ve done with one spring added out of the stock rear pack work,s awesome better than those thick worthless chevy springs by far

so you running stock taco springs on your toyotas. what leaf did you add from your stock pack? i'm thinking as a temp fix to replace my AAL in my stock 4runner rear spring with two to three leaves from a 98+ taco spring pack.

i use the whole taco spring pack and then i use 3rd spring out of the stock hilux pack and put it in as the 3rd spring in the taco pac i leave the over load in the pac cause the springs are soft and bend backwards with ease the overload in those packs act like a stop to keep em from bending that far backwards it is the best pac that i have used by far about 4 more inches of travel than those chebby spring i know i compared the two side by side

That and how far foward did you move your spring hanger.

[jesusno2]

the frt spring hanger are moved foward directly under where the center of the bed mount is and the rear is moved back a few inches two i don,t have exact measurements right off hand i can get em if you need them though and as far as lift it lifted a 83 toy with a 3 inch body lift with plenty of room for 36 inch tsl swampers and the same for a 84 and 85 that i,ve done also great spring setup as far as a 4 runner i don,t know bout lift cause the ass end is heavyer than a truck they might sag too much
