What is a good spring (2.25" wide main leaf) to use for the half spring on the rear of a Toyota?

A commonly used mainspring is a factory YJ leaf mainspring. They can be bought for cheap (as takeoffs), are 2.5 wide, relatively flat, and in general are the common ones I've seen used

Wrangler main leafs ARE YJ's.

I would use stock toy leafs so you can reuse your shackles you currently are running.

lol.. yotadudes....

heheh..

j/k

actually, I can't really contribute intelligently as to what a yota would best use for an ellip setup like the one you are going for, but 2.5" springs from YJ's/XJ's seems to be the way a lot of people go.
