[QUOTE="BJ Bates, post: 148460, member: 4282"] Hi ProspectorPete, I had the same dilemma and no cash, so I contacted my local toyota dealer and asked could he help?? I was quoted like you many dollars for new ones to suit my year model etc,.... way out of my price range, but he said that he had brand spankin new ones on the shelf for a few dollars?? yep... I was sceptical and asked what was the catch? and he said that the Toyota utes which come from Jpan are stripped of their original suspensions and the springs are put on a rack for a rainy day or old pensioners like me who need them, these new rigs don't meet the mine standard and have to be upgraded.....simple... give me two rear leaf springs and two front coils and here's your $300... to say I was rapt is an understatement.. now I'm not sure if you want to go down this path but..... new springs and air bags must be a win win, don't you? reckon..cheers ps they even had new bushes... bonus BJ [/QUOTE]
