ok so imma get my leaf springs flattened out to lower my rear suspension and I wanted to add a leaf to my spring set to raise the spring rate. I know a lot of guys here removed their midleaf to lower there truck so if you guys are willing to part with it i would appreciate it This is the one i want.. Im in northern cali..
If you just need the middle leaf Ill trade you mine for your powersteering, I pay shipping on the leaf and you pay shipping on the p.s.
ill get back with you tomorrow night, goin to bed, got a funeral to go to in the morning then a family to feed.
yeah pm me your number Ill call ya when I got a chance... like I said..im busyy lol. also my leafs are still on my truck, I havent taken them off yet.
He put he wanted the pack stiffer before he de arched them. Maybe hes worried about being able to carry weight afterwards or something. Dunno. I dont think dearched leafs would have that problem though.
Never heard of them doing that either but i also never seen 5 leafs in a pack on a toyota unless its lifted with one of those extreme leaf packs. But mabe he knows something we dont know.
Well i dont consider that big thick leaf on the bottom a leaf its more of helper if the truck gets too low. but honestly i thought this was how all 2wd trucks came? well at least thats how it was when i bought it? Ive heard that when you de arc leafs you lose some of the spring rate so to counter that i wanted to add a leaf. cuz i still do sometimes carry lots of random crap and i dont want it to hit my new tires that imma get tomorrow. Im gonna put that thick leaf on top of the leaf pack to get it to be a lil lower when i get the springs de arcd
I think if they dearch it the correct way it shouldnt affect load to much. And stock 2wds came with a 3 pack. 4wd with a 4pack. 1 tons with a huge pack.
yeah it was a work truck before i had it maybe they put it on to carry some extra heavy loads? but its ok cuz imma use it as a small lowering block
Yeah thats one possible theory. And adding leafs not going get you lower. People normally remove a leaf to get a little lower.
yes but i dont want to lose my spring rate and i still use it as a truck once in a while thats why im gonna get all the leafs de-arced and add a leaf to keep the spring rate. Im gona get about a 2 inch drop in the rear when i get the leafs de-arced.
Oh ok, you put you was using it as a lowering block. Gotcha. What kinda stuff you going be carrying that you need that much spring rate? I think with good shocks or those helper kind shocks it should help.
