It's time to replace the stock rear leaf springs on my truck. My truck is completely stock and I do not want to lift it. I have newish Monroe Sensatrac shocks that I do not want to replace. It has a topper on it and will have a sleeping platform that lives inside it. The truck will sit on 31x10.50-15's when it's all said and done. As far as I can tell I have four options for replacement springs.
1-Factory Toyota springs. They are about $600 for the pair. That is out.
2-John R leaf spring. I have never heard of them and my Google search returned one result but the person who bought them has yet to actually use them. They look a little cheesy to me. They are $200 for the pair.
3-SDTrucksprings. They seem to be a quality spring. They would probably be fine for me. They are $350 for the pair.
4-Old Man Emu CS009 springs. I would really like to go this route, but the catalog lists them as giving a 2" lift. Wonder if with the added weight of the topper if the lift would be less? Wonder if I could remove a leaf? They are $280 for the pair (including bushings and u-bolts).
I want to buy something of good quality and do not want to have to replace springs again anytime soon. I am willing to spend the money to do it right. With that said, I am open to suggestions.
Thanks!
