After checking further, I found you are correct that the springs were lengthened in 1998. So, the custom springs I have will fit 1998 through 2004 models. However, the 1998-2004 model years are still considered "Gen 1 Tacomas". The Gen 2 started in 2005. Apparently, the change of cosmetics...

I had custom springs built for my 2004 Toyota Tacoma truck just before we decided to sell the camper and truck. The springs were installed for just one trip... delivering the camper to the new owner in Nevada. The truck buyer wanted the truck with the lighter duty OME springs, so I removed the...

In case anyone reading this thread is interested, I have a set of custom Alcan springs for a gen 1 Tacoma with under 1,000 miles on them for sell. I sold the truck and the buyer didn't want the stiffer springs. I didn't want to hijack the thread, but wanted to let you know they are available...

We -still- have not found a Tundra. We are set on what we want, but no one seems to be offering just what we want, unless it has 50k miles or more. If it is around in a few weeks, I will be making a trip to St. George. I understand. I know it is really hard to find a used Toyota with low...

Tempting...and I am even in Utah. If you look at it... you'll buy it! I'll deliver it! :rolleyes:

Yes, the Eagle has been sold to a happy new owner. Truck is still available!!! :rolleyes: I am selling my pristine 2009 Eagle Camper. It has about every option you can get with this model plus a few add-ons. It has never been smoked in and has been very lightly used. The factory options...

I've been thinking of putting together a fairing for the front of my 2009 Eagle on my 2004 Tacoma. Here are my thoughts so far: 1) There is quite a large gap between the cab and the bottom of the camper, since the newer models have taller cabs. 2) The large gap is wasted space, and not good...

The OME heavy coils I have on the front seem to do a good job with or without the camper on. I have an ARB bumper and Warn 8000 winch and it really doesn't feel too heavy with those coils. I received the Alcan custom rear leafs today. They are really impressively built (just like other Alcans...

For anyone who wants to install their leaf springs themselves, here are a couple of hints to make the job a lot easier. 1) Get custom bolts made to mount the springs to the axle. You will need them, so get them bent before you start the installation. Don't plan on reusing the old axle bolts...

I bought my 09 FWC Eagle used in June this year. I've camped in it 10 nights. It would have been more, but my 04 Taco has been having some problems with the OME rear springs. Adding air lifts hasn't helped, as I've blown 3 of them in the last two trips. New Alcan HD custom springs are on the...

I spoke with the distributor for OME products and he said the OME "heavy" springs for the Taco are only good for about 300 pounds payload. He recommended going to a custom spring like a Deaver or Alcan if I wanted to carry a 1000 pound camper. I went ahead and ordered a set of Alcan springs...

The Gen1 Tacoma OME leafs do not hold much weight. The Gen2 Tacoma OME leafs hold a ton. That seems odd. I wonder why they didn't upgrade the gen1 Tacoma OME leafs? My springs are less than two years old. Seems wierd that the "heavy" OMEs for gen1 would still be unsuitable for carrying a...

I recently purchased a 2004 Tacoma that has an ARB bumper with Warn 8000 winch and Old Man Emu front coils and OME Dakar "heavy" rear leafs. The total lift is supposedly just over 2 inches. I made the assumption the OME springs would handle an FWC camper. When I purchased my 2009 FWC Eagle and...

I think the aerodynamics would hurt more than the 100 lbs. at highway speeds. I'm going to start pulling mine off for extended trips. The camper is plenty stable without them and I won't be removing it (the camper) while out on trips. Besides, they just increase the width of the rig when you...

I am interested in your custom rear spring solutions. I recently purchased a 2004 Tacoma that has an ARB bumper with Warn 8000 winch and Old Man Emu front coils and OME Dakar "heavy" rear leafs. The total lift is supposedly just over 2 inches. I made the assumption the OME springs would...
