Try Deaver, him and I have been talking about a production spring for the Toyota trucks. Pre-rrunner, 4x4, etc... Bilstein shocks in stock location are also great. I hope this helps.

Definintly Deaver..... Talk to Jeff let him know how you want the truck to ride and he will nail it. as far as shocks go I would think about some SAW 2.5 with urathane bushings for the rear... I have a REALLY good Valve stack that works good on and off road if you like I can let you know what it is.. Peace
NEVER LIFT!!!!!

Since you are only renting that truck (lease) you should not change the rear leaves at all. Just get some lift blocks from Pep Boys. If you insist on replacing your rear leaves with race proven quality leaves see National Spring. They can acheive any desired amount of lift.

Speaking of Deaver...If you go down to their shop on May 5th they're having a little get together with Inland Prerunners and they're giving 20% off spring packs on that day!

Try Advanced Off-Road Reasearch, they specialize in Toy's and have a nice leaf spring with a cool trick pivot at the front mount instead of a bushing. We race with them and they seem to be working very well. www.aor4x4.com or call (970) 263-4300. Late

Ditto that last post. I have seen that set up and it look's like it would work killer!
