Leaf springs
« on: Mar 22, 2006, 04:03:49 PM »
the the stock leaf springs on my 99 tacoma are completely dead, they have the overload leaf also

what springs could i run that would  give stock rise and flex better without modification to the hangers?

Wasn't there a recall on those springs? I had a buddy that had a taco and I thought toyota put new springs on his truck because they were having so many problems. The new ones were redesigned.
