Budget friendly leaf spring brand difference?

I was installing the rear sway bar on my 2011 Tundra Limited today and discovered that I have a broken leaf spring (middle leaf is broken and separated about an inch). I am not going high end in the replacement. In looking at budget friendly options I came across General Spring, Dayton, Husky, and Dorman. I am looking at the 5 leaf 'HD' option for these. General Spring looks good, but their shipping is a bit much. Rock auto has the Dorman, Husky, and Dayton, and more reasonable shipping BUT they all have the same part # 90363HD. That got me wondering if all of the brands are using the same OEM and just slapping a different label on it. Is General manufacturing their own stuff or is that basically going to be from the same factory as the others?

 

Not really answering your question, but if you have a local shop that makes leaf springs that's the route I would go. They could make the leaf spring that is broken and you could replace it instead of the entire pack.

 

Yes they're all (including General) pumping out the same budget leaf packs.

May want to consider the Icon

$190 Add-A-Leaf kit for 1999-2021 Toyota Tundra - 21.5" Short AAL Set with Isolator Pads and Square Bend U-Bolts

Add-A-Leaf kit. It replaces the 3 middle leafs on each pack (only retaining the original top spring and overload spring on bottom). Only runs $300 from most vendors. I installed it on my truck and it lifted it about 1.25" in the rear and rides really nice, even when unloaded.

 

this is the way. hell, that shop will build you an entirely new leaf tailored to your truck for the same price or less than one of these brands
