would like to here from anyone the has used doweny 3" leaf springs on their 85 toyota 4x4. what quality were they and did they hold their lift. I am thinking about using them on my truck and running 33" tires (front springs for now)

 

front or rear? I've used the rear on my 87, and have had several problems. The dont hold a load real well, and I didnt get hardly any lift... actually currently they sit lower that toyota springs, but I do carry a lot of weight in the back. Now this is just my experience, there have been others here on YT that have had good experience with them. I think my problems may be from carrying a lot of weight and doing some long hard hill climbs with weight in the back. I just dont think they are designed to support that much weight. Heres a thread:

Another thing might be to use thier springs and install an add-a-leaf for the weight carrying capacity.
