replacement springs

Does anyone make replacement springs that are stock height? or around 1'' of lift? my stock springs are shot, but I'm not really interested in lifting the truck much.

Since you posted in 84/85 truck section, I will assume you have a solid axle truck.

You can still get stock springs fron Toyota, but I'm sure they will be 2-300 EACH spring.

We bought a set of front Rancho, 3" lift (used from a member here) and got about 2 1/2" in the front. They had add-a-leafs in the rear, and they worked OK....the truck looks level.

There are spring shops that can make springs for you. In Seattle, my shop has bought overload springs to replace the rears on Sonoma trucks (15 mph in Boeing plant, some maint guys are carrying 3000 lbs of crap). Custom springs are not cheap either

As a side note, you can add your vehicle to your sig line (look in User CP), so people will know what you have in every post. Mike is everything under the solid line in this reply. You can also add a location to your profile (just a state if you are afraid of being stalked )

i think OME leafs give a pretty mild lift. maybe try longer shackles if you dont want much lift.
