I think I'm gonna get Micheal's springs instead since they aren't W shaped, . You'd still be better off getting new ones for Samantha though.

fuck it, marlin here i come...

Fuck that, go to the junk yard, get a set of 63" 3 leaf chevy leaf springs (can be found under 88-98 2wd chevy trucks must be a truck burbs and tahoes had 56" leafs) then get this from sky http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/new/detaproduct.php?id=125 and have better load capicty springs with much more flex than any other offerings out there and for less money. Then all you have to do is stick some new shock hoops on there with some 14" cheapo shocks and presto super flex rear for less than 300.

 

[AlienXtx]

Ahh, even better. Thanks for the info.

Hey Keith, if those 63" Chevys came under all the 2wd 88-98 then I may have a set for sell. I'll make sure they're the right size and let you know tomorrow.

This is exactly my plan to the T, you should be sure they are 4 leafs springs some of them where 3. I got a line on my set, just haven't landed them yet

Randy is saying 3leaf.....WTF?

Not sure, maybe one of us is mistaken, I am pretty sure I read that the 4 leaf where best but I'll double check.

Why the 4leaf you'll just end up having to ppull that 4th leaf unless you just have a ridculous amount of weight. Btw the 4leafs can be found in 4wd models of the same truck

 

[yotarob]

Maybe it's a 4runner thing to account for the xtra weight of the hard top? I'll look into it some more & report back.

yeah i bet thats why, so that means you could use a 3 also since your not using the hard top.

Yeah it's sweat, but damn it's expensive.

Yes, for now, but this winter the hard top will be going back on. Maybe I will just add / remove the extra leaf with the change in seasons. LOL

 

[AlienXtx]

Yeah because that's easy.....

 

[drew02a]

Is this thing technically a Hilux?

 

[AlienXtx]

Yeah they were called hilux until 95, that or just Toyota truck. My insurance calls it a 87 Toyota short bed.
