Do these springs look sick?
what do you think - I have heard taco springs are supposed to be fairly flat - but a straight line? I'd say if anything they bend downward

Wabbit, you showed old front springs , but new rear 
The only time I've seen springs bend down is on Pre-86 "front" springs, which is normal.
So newer tacomas rear springs are flat or bend down?

My cousin 99' taco had a negative arch on them.
It didn't like to do over 90' on the highway tho...
I think they should have a slight positive arch, you can prob. get an add-a-leaf or something.

If I put any wieght in my bed my springs sag really bad. When I have a canopy and full of camping gear my truck looks like a 4runner! They are plenty soft for good flexin though. Still have some bow to em though.
