I got mine from a local auto parts store.. I tried Napa, Autozone, and Kragen without any luck. I think some people may have had luck at 4wheelparts however. I don't know where you are, but I am sure places like Kartek or Camburg would also be able to sell you them, or could at least tell you where to find them.

Thanks, I will probably try a local 4wd shop. One more question though, in the write-up it did not specify exactly what kind of centering pins to get, just some longer ones. Any suggestions?

They only come one length.. diameter is, however, different. I am not sure what it is.. but my local place had three dia. small, med, and large.. I got the medium ones... I know.. real exact! If you could actually ask them and let me know, so I can add that information to the write up, I would assume they are like 10mm (like the thread, not the bolt head... Perhaps a hair smaller...

Yeah I will let you know what they are. Thanks a bunch for all your help

The centering pins are 4 inch long and 5/16 thread, hope this helps for your writeup

Here's a dumb one...what's the tacoma leaf spring mod? Is it going with leaf springs in the front rather than coils when you do a SAS?

just wunderin'

cut up another tacoma leaf pack and add it to yours (hence the need for a longer center pin, to accomodate the extra leaves.)

centering pins, as well as other fabrication parts can be had from

FootHill Off Road



They have an online catalog that is really helpful when searching for parts.
