Not the most exciting thing but thought id show some pics of the difference.. $70 and 3hrs later....

 

oh very nice. i wonder why all these have sag in the back.... my 88 P/U has sag seems like!!

 

Looks good. You know, I've noticed that the 89-95 extra-cab pickups usually have sag in the rear ends after a while too, but not the standard-short cabs.

 

I just took my add a leafs out because one broke. Hope you got the long kind rather than just one short one. They would be a bit better.

In hindsight I realized that AAL are a good short run band-aid for rear suspension sag, but you really need a new leaf pack.

 

Thats pretty much it right there.

Add-a-leafs will prolong the life of your springs for awhile, will give you time to save up for new leaf springs

 

and you usually replace your leaf springs after every 200,000 miles, am i correct in thinking this?

 

Mine have been noticeably saggy since probably 10 years ago, but I'm not really sure since I was only 10 at the time.....I would say on a truck they don't wear out as quick as a 4runner. They should have beefed up the rear springs to hold the extra weight of The 4runner top.

 

Yep, I got 3 years out of them before it the one broke. Cost me a tire when it did though. cut into the sidewall on the interstate. No blow out though. Thank God.

 

The stock springs are not strong enough if you really use the truck for hauling or anything.

I plan on running a cheepo set of short add-a-leafs for awhile. Will have to replace the current leaf pack anyways.

 

I am going to get myself some new OME shocks and Torsion bars and then get Nashville Spring Service to build me a leaf pack that will be level with the front
