2005 Toyota Tacoma Leaf Spring swap...

[StaticFilter]

I've broken a leaf on my passenger and drivers side packs, pretty sure the others could be cracked, just curious how hard a pack swap would be. Got a guy parting out his 2007 Taco (mostly stock TRD Offroad) and he'd let me have his packs for $250. This sound like a good price? I haven't messed with leaf packs much but it seems pretty simple

Hello and welcome. 

Leafs should be pretty easy, especially if you can get new bolts.  I would highly recommend getting new u-bolts.  Even if they only have a couple hundred miles on them they have still been stretched a little.

Yep, new bolts and U-bolts, there cheap and makes the swap easier not to mention that they stretch at the very moment that you tighten them down.  Taco's are known for breaking springs.

yes get new u bolts and bolts at each end the taco's are one time use
