My 98 Tacoma's original driverside leaf spring broke at 100k miles. I replaced it myself with a fabricated spring from a spring shop. 20k miles later that spring broke. I don't tow much, or offroad, i'm guessing a pothole was the culprit both times.
Now I'm faced with getting another fabricated spring, purchasing an OEM spring, or upgrading to an aftermarket spring with more than 3 leafs. If I increased the number of leafs, I would then need to replace the springs on driver and passenger side. I may also then be dealling with the back end being lifted a few inches. Any suggestions? What are the risks of only replacing one leaf spring ?
