I just got my 8 pack deaver leaf springs for my 2000 ext cab taco. I measured eye to eye on the deaver springs and it's about 52 inches. I measured the truck from eye to eye and it's more like 54 inches. I know the springs will flatten out some when they get some weight on them, but do these measurements seem to make sense? I wouldn't have thought they'd flatten out to lengthen 2 or more inches with a little weight on them.

Yes they will. I have installed many of those.

Big $$$ leafs. They are really soft desert race leafs, hence being so soft, difference in length.

Getting the shackles on a is PITA with the leafs "shorter". If you go to a Daystar longer shackle, it's easier.

alright, thanks for the info. I've got downey shackels on right now, so i'll probably just reuse those.

im looking at buying some old man 2.5 in lift leaf springs but i want to see if they will fit first. they are for a 2005 tacoma and i have a 1993 t100. online i found that they length of my springs were 55 in. the guy said that his springs were 55 3/4 in. did he get off by a little? and will they fit on my truck?
