Hey guys,

I am attempting to help my friend with a rear end swap on his '01 tacoma.
He plans to use the rear end assembly from a 1994 DLX model pickup, and I don't know if those '94 leaf springs will mount to the '01 chassis.
Do you know if Toyota changed the leaf springs for the newer mid sized rigs?

 

Somewhere in this thread there is a pic of spring length comparison in a chart format.https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f114...isc-bs-167140/

 

You might have to do some fab work if he really wants to use them.

I know they are not close to the same length.

 

Hmm, we are not the greatest welders in the world, if we were gunna move the brackets, might as well lift it and throw some bigger leafs in there right

 

Wrong person to ask although I have installed a few lift kits I myself have no use for them.

I could measure and give you some real numbers in the morning .If I think of it.

Then quite a bit of difference between bare springs with no weight and springs under a truck.
