I have a broken leaf spring on my early 97 Tacoma 4x4 ext. cab. I called around, the the local salvage yards have nothing to fit it. But they did say that I couldn't put anything from a late 97- 05 spring on because it wouldn't work.

Does anyone know if all the leaf springs are the same for my '97 to say a '02 or an '05?


I can get a pair for a 2002 on Ebay, but I want to make sure they will fit first.

If I remember correctly 95-97(early) were slightly different and are not interchaingable. Someone else can verify.

The 95-97 models have shorter leaf springs then 98+ models. Which leaf broke? If it isn't the main leaf, you can replace it with one of a similar length. Be prepared to modify the leaf pack on the opposite side to maintain a level ride stance.

Which leaf was it. I lost the third one down on my 96 on the left side. The others are still fine I think other than the shackle bushing. The bushing will need to be replaced if it's the main as my shckle was frozen in and I like to have never got it out. If it's the right side I have a leaf pack from wheelers I'll give you never installed.

So you have some leaf packs available that will fit and work?

Send me an email to let me know what we can work out.

do you have any spring shops nearby? If so they can replace your leaf for cheap. depending on your mileage it might be a good time to have both pks rebuilt and re-arched.
