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

Thanks for setting me straight.
It isn't just us regulars reading here. AT this moment there are 63 members and 232 'guests'. Always think of a much broader readership. This ain't a private club.

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.

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