Leaf Springs-Prices/buying info '88

Hey,

I got an 88 V6 4runner and want to change out the back leaf springs.

Toyota's stuff is expensive, where can I get cheaper ones @ about the same quality???

Any tried and true?

Thanks

You can get stock replacements (ie, no lift) from JCWhitney, never tried them tho. You can get packs with lift from a lot of places.

Pro comp sells leafs that are not too pricey.

I'm likely going that route for my saggy rear - to match my 4 inch lift.

Downey off-road makes a 2" lift spring at a great price; as I was replacing my shocks at the same time, I went with the taller spring to help the sag on the back of the truck.
