Okay I know there are a million and a half post on multiple forums about the rear leaf pack replacement TSB (changing 3 leaf pack to the new beefeir one). But I cant find a single reliable post about my particular question.
I have a 2005 Dbl Cab Tacoma, I bought it used in August of 2008 and now the mileage is 35,782. I just purchased the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks for the front and also purchased the 5100's for the rear. But now I have a few questions?
1. If I my truck does not qualify for the TSB in question, how much would a TSB leaf spring setup cost and where can I get it from?
2. If I have to buy an aftermarket leaf pack, because I cant stand the squeaking from my current pack during loads or offroad driving or hell just getting in and out of the truck. Which aftermarket leaf pack should I buy that will ride just fine with the rear 5100 shocks? (Ive been looking at the OME DAKAR SPRINGS PART #'s CS047 at www.wheelersoffroad.com)
3. Also what kind of issues if any will i get if i do replace my OEM leaf pack with the Dakar leaf pack since its a larger pack. Ive read somewhere that it causes issues possible damage to the drivesaft????
I really dont want to have to buy new rear shocks since i just purchased those rear 5100's and I like how it all matches. I just cant stand that squeaking and I really dont think the dealer will honor the TSB since its 2009 and my truck is a 2005. Im still going tommorow with a copy of the TSB in hand hoping for the best though!!
Sorry for the long post and all the questions, and thanks in advance for the help!!
