Yota Leaf Springs!

Dubshot · May 2, 2007

What springs are in your toyota, how much lift did it give you, and what did you have to do to set it up? EVERYBODY..

I'll play.....4" Marlin front and rear. I had to move the rear forward a few inches, the Tacoma doesn't accommodate the 56" spring. Not sure the exact lift......I did remove some leafs in the rear to loosen them up.

custom rears up front, moved mounts forward, ford 57's out back, moved mounts forward and shackles to back of frame and up a little, figure around 4" of lift and i run 42's

Any pics? Also what do the 57's come out of and would I need new springs hangers, shackle hangers, and shackles or are they the same thickness?

I got rear 4" Skyjackers up front and T&G 57" 5" lift (minus one leaf) in the back. They work really sweet. Here is a couple pics a few months ago.

rears and waggies mix up front and slightly modified 5 leaf waggies out back. not too horrible on flex. but never been on the trail yet... still building. there's about 4 inches of lift by the springs and an inch or 2 from the chevy shackles.

28" of flex, no weight in the bed

with my dad's 38's

seven leaf waggys front. five leaf waggy rears with overload removed. for the rears i moved the hanger forward a few inches, the get the front leafs to work i had to ditch the ifs:flipoff: they work good for me, very very soft with lots of body roll though.

6 leaf rear 48" packs up front and 6 leaf 51" rears flipped backwards in the rear. The usual 2" drop hanger in the front with mounting hole moved an inch forward. Rear springs inboarded same width as front springs

Works good mated with BBC shocks

TG all around, 3" lift turned out to be a 5-6" lift. ditched the IFS in the front, the rears came with new spring hangers, moved them forward, the axle stayed in the same spot.
