[ViO_LenCe]

i am new to 4x4's and trucks for the most part.i think that my front leaf springs are worn out because there is only about 1.25'' of clearance between the frame and the rubber bump stop.plus the leaf spings look more like a W than a bow.is this common?any help would be appreciated feel free to rake me through the coals im a newb lol

it is pretty common, also, toyota made them stock almost flat to improve the ride..... and being 30 years old, they probably have sagged as well

get some chevy 63" or f150 leafs for the rear, weld up those hangers, then move your rear leaf springs up front with a bananna shackle and your all jacked up.

what about  the rough country kits?are they worth the money or is it a waste of time.and what does IFS mean?

Don't get lift springs, they'll ride harsh and not flex worth crap.
IFS is independent front suspension
