I am adding a 6th leaf to my rears up front pack on my runner to add a slight lift and increase the spring rate. I don't think my center pin is long enough, i havn't looked though. Do any of yall know a source for longer center pins? I guess marlin's spring pins would work.

Try looking first.

You can get longer center pins from any spring/suspension shop. 4" 6" & 8" are the lengths I've seen before. A 4" should be fine though... 5/16" hole I believe is Toyota version.

Ditto that, it won't last long, and the damage it may do is not worth the 3 bucks you saved.
