Red face 2000 Tacoma 4x4Super springs

Now Since I always haul 800 to 1000 pounds I wanted to do something before I ruined my new springs about 2 years old.

How time flies.

Well these people being in California are pretty much clueless when it comes to the great rust belt. They say to just loosen the U bolts to remove the original bump stops .

That being said I pretty much knew I was cutting the old ones off . That is a call you need to make if your doing this kind of thing.

It went pretty smooth the second one went even faster.

I ended up running the E-Brake cable between the Super spring and the original spring .

After a few trail runs I am quite happy with the way it rides and handles no more of the back end looking like it will hit the ground.

No strange noises or bumps so it works for what I want.:jessica:

It has been a month and I will say I am happy these do just what the manufactures claim.

I can`t really tell much different in the empty ride after all it is a truck.

Now these would not work for every one but for my working truck they are great now I just need to finish building the spare tire mount and the rear bumper.

Here it is about 10 months

I got to say any one who hauls and uses there Tacoma as a truck these are great I have had no issues the loaded handling is so good I sometimes forget .

The empty is ride is a little Harsh but not bad at all.

I would for sure spend the money again well worth it.

I would venture the best Improvement in the Long run.

These go in the rear.

Kinda like a helper spring but the way they are made you don`t have the hard ride normal with most add on springs.

It is not uncommon for me to have from 800 to 1200 hundred pounds in the bed of truck and pull a tow behind welder as well.

A few weeks shy of two years I quite pleased at how great these work.

It has to be about the best aftermarket upgrade I have done even better then the Warn Hubs.
