tacoma springs?
« on: Aug 04, 2004, 04:52:03 PM »
I can get my hands on some from a 98xtra cab easy and cheap.  What are some other springs people use all around besides rears, waggies, and chevyies?

The taco springs are pretty good..i herd of people busting them on the trails but Mine have been to hell and back,,,,so far so good..I think the are just as good as the chevies bt not as much lift and more axle wrap..Thats what made me go to the chevies..

The ranger and mazda springs are also great springs to use..They need some swaping in with other leafs but great flex..
Forgiveness is between them and god..
Its my job to arrange the meeting!

Actually All-Pro Tacoma springs are made in the USA by Betts Spring co. Some of our other springs were made in Mexico but not any longer. Jon
