Right, springs are cheap. Make sure you order new hardware, I usually end up with something stripped/broken.

Thanks for setting me straight. :rolleyes:

You might oughtta check the front coil springs if they're as rusted as the leafs. They're even more problematic, I think, although they generally stay in place for a while, even if broken.

How much you guys want to bet this spring isn't fixed yet?

I had one snap in the Taco. I parked it until I could get it repaired. Same with my friends Tundra.
