And should I spring (lol) for the "Heavy Duty" option? (This is a new mechanic, not the scam artist from my previous post. This cat is baller.)

As a new 2008 tundra owner Im curious why youre replacing leaf springs. Damaged? Rust? Lift kit? Larger tires?

I think this is the guy from a week or two ago that lives in Alaska and has a bunch of rot under his truck. They said the leafspring eye was completely rusted through with a bunch of other stuff. Road salt is the worst on vehicles.

Hey, I’ve been driving this truck for 13 years. I was a lot younger when I got it, and did not know then what I know now about proper auto maintenance. Plus, it just kept going with zero problems on nothing but regular oils changes, so in a addition to my ignorance, I didn’t even ever have cause to think about it. There were just never any problems. And I only lived in Alaska for 3 years. It was probably the 3 years in salt-heavy Massachusetts after that that did it. They don’t salt in Anchorage IIRC. So take it easy on me, brother. I’m trying to make up for past shortcomings here.
