2.5" pro comp leaf?

nomiss05 · 08-22-2008, 11:58 AM

i have a 85pu, i want pro comp springs on it but my problem is i can only find 4" lift springs, i dont want 4" though. i know they have 2.5" leafs but i have never seen one for my toyota, i was wondering if anyone has 2.5 springs or if i can get springs for another vehicle that will fit mine. any suggestions will be helpful

I've never heard anything good about Pro-Comp myself. Skyjacker does make a 3" lift spring if you're set on using the stock hangers. If you're up for some fab work, Trail Gear makes 3" springs.

I can tell you right now from my truck with the 4" Procomp lift you're not going to get a whole lot of flex out of them. Could be other factors regarding how my truck is set up... but you can see from the pic I have with the back passenger wheel in the air that there isn't much give. Once again could definately be other factors on how its set up... Just a newb here offering my 2cents.

im not looking for too much flex, i wont be crawlin so much. more of a baja runner and dune runner.. so flex isnt a big factor...

actually, flex is important on a baja setup too. if the springs are too stiff, you'll bounce over the whoops instead of letting the springs absorb them.
instead of springs, you might check into extended rear shackles.

yeah i know its important thats why i wanted the pro comp ones not some crawler styles.. i need new springs on my truck cuz mine are frowning, there stockers

88wildrunner · 08-22-2008, 03:17 PM

trail gear has three inch springs. and remeber springs settle so 2.5 is gona end up around 2 inch or less.

nomiss05 · 08-22-2008, 03:24 PM

ya im okay with that, heres the whole thing. my springs are frowning so i need new ones, i can only find the pro comp 4" thing is, i like my stock heighth and i dont wanna go up 4" cuz thats pretty tall.. so a 2.5 would be perfect

abecedarian · 08-22-2008, 03:32 PM

go look at 4wheelparts.com and search. they may have something.
I picked up a set of 4" procomps for my runner for 100 each. they might have something your size.

nomiss05 · 08-22-2008, 03:44 PM

yeah the 4" is all i can find there too, i was just wondering if there was a 2.5 for another platform that would work with the pickup.

they dont have 2.5 but 2 you would probly like better if you like the ride height you have right now.

nomiss05 · 08-22-2008, 04:40 PM
