Stock Front Springs, where???

Hey guys,

Where can I find a set of stock front springs for my 85' Runner. I'm trying to stay relitivley cheep on the suspension. I don't wanna use the junk year b/c I'm affraid they would already have sagging, or negetive arch problems like my springs already have.

Thanks in advance.

i don't think i'd bother with it unless you want to hit the junk yard. just put some rears in the front with some extra leaves added in

seriously, have you ever seen a stock front leaf from a straight axle truck? they come almost flat from the factory!

Just leave yours alone until you buy the AP's.

If you reallt need some, buy some stock waggy's from JC Whitney. I have no idea where to get stock 4runner springs other than a junk yard.

I think the stock front springs were built to run flat or slightly negative arch to them. You could try an add-a-leaf in place of one of the stock lower leaves to get a little arch to them. You can't go too thick on the spring pack since you can run into streering arm interference.
