    I've been searching and reading a lot of the threads on this forum, but haven't found quite the answer that I'm looking for.

    I have a 2010 TRD Rock Warrior Double Cab and the previous owner put on add-a-leafs through a local spring shop. He towed a heavy boat a couple of times a year, and I won't be doing that. Adding to that the stock leafs are rusted out, so I want to replace them.

    Stock Toyota springs are part #48210-0c340 and #48220-0c340; they sell for $650.77/ea. Ouch. Not going to happen.

    I know I can get Alcan or Deaver to make custom leafs, but don't really want to wait for a custom build.

    I'd just like to get something that is equivalent to stock, without any additional lift.

    My driving is probably 50% paved secondary, 40% two lane dirt roads, with maybe 10% forest and unmaintained roads. I seldom tow, and when I do it is pretty light weight (16' lightweight aluminum boat, 6x10 aluminum utility trailer, 3000 lb lightweight off road camper). I will rarely haul cargo in the bed. I came from a Land Cruiser with a much lower tow capacity, and never came close to taxing it.

    From what I can tell, OME Dakar, Ironman, Icon, and other common off-the-shelf options seem to come along with a lift, which I don't need or want.

    I think the stock TRD springs would be fine, but again, I'm not interested in paying $1500 to replace with stock.

    Are there any good options for off-the-shelf upgrade leafs with zero to minimal lift?

    Also, I have a strut leaking oil, so I need to replace it. I think I'll just do a Bilstein 5100 upgrade "while I'm in there". This should allow me to dial out some rake by moving the snap ring to the middle position.

    Find some rich 3rd gen tundra owner that’s parting out their stock suspension, everything will bolt on. You can probably get their stock front shock and springs and rear shock and leaf springs for under 500 bucks, it will be a direct bolt on.

    Find a local spring shop and have them piece together an aftermarket set or fab them up. My spring shop here can fab leaf packs in an hour for me.

    I had the shop that added the add-a-leaf pull it off and it is much better now.
