Default trd leaf springs

so i have a four wheel drive, accesscab taco. i looked at the leaf springs in the back and they look like they might be sagging a little, but all the other trd tacos ive seen around they look the same as mine. im just curious because the truck used to e my fathers and i remember he went and picked up a load of gravel and he came back to the house and the rear was sittint on the bump stops. but i could just be overreacting. also the truck does seem to ride kinda rough but i never had a truck like this before. any input wouldhelp guys thanks.

also the truck has 87000 miles on it

The stock springs on the early tacomas are pritty much straight "under weight of truck itsself" It doesnt take much to get the rear on the bump stops. Just how it is probibly. Id check for broken leafs, mine had broken a rear leaf at 60,000 miles. As for the rough ride Tacomas are know for there fairly comfortable ride compaired to other compacts, how are the shocks, and struts?

I had Denver springs in my 98 taco , they were great .gave it a 1 1/2'' lift in the rear. Also ran the old man emu coils up front.Got to check out WHEELERS OFFROAD.COM. They will have the best options and help on what you need.
