Difference in TRD Leaves?

Hey guys - I've got an 04 Double Cab Pre Runner. Non TRD. Is there any practical differences between the Non TRD rear leaves, and the TRD springs?
I am looking at a set off of an 02 TRD Double Cab Pre Runner. Any difference in performace/flex? Length? Would they be a direct bolt in? Any gains by doing so?

I am actually just wanting his AAL, but might get the TRD springs also, as he is swapping in some new Chebbies.

Thanks for the info!!

The factory springs sag even on the trd.I wouldnt go to the trouble to change them unless I swapped them for a better set.

Thanks for the info. Looks like they are identical. NO parts listed for a TRD leaf, so I guess they are the same.

The hting is I am going to put an AAL in mine no matter what, this guy is getting rid of his whole leaf pack, WITH the AAL, I thought I might just put his leafs in, instead of removing the AAL from his and putting it in mine...

What say you guys?

I dont think I want a short AAL. I know thr pro comps are like 30 bucks or something, but they also really harsh the ride, and given any AAL's effect on the ride, I would like to keep it as soft as possible. Plus the shorties are prone to cracking and stress fractures, or even breaking.
