2004 Toyota Tacoma 4×4. Look great and fit great!

These are for stock leaf springs and will not work (without modifying them) to work with OME Dakar leaf springs. The spring eye is smaller on the OME springs than they are on the factory Toyota springs. Just a heads up 😉

2004 Tacoma 4×4 trd . Will not fit unless bushing is shaved. Had to shave all of them to fit leaf springs. Good quality bad fitment.

Affordable and Effective replacement for oem bushings. The rear eye needs to have the outer shell cut out in order to fit the larger bushings. The instructions given clearly say to remove all outer shells. If it doesn’t fit, you need to find a way to cut out the outer shell. I have a sawzall that worked great on this. Maybe a dremel will work too. Do not shave the bushings. The fitment is precise and it fits perfectly to the “stock” leaf springs of this make and model. Maybe a shop will replace it for cheap and plenty of YouTube videos showing how to cut out the outer shell for energy suspension bushings!

You can make parts of it work but you would need to buy two kits and have left over parts.

Works and fits great on my 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 with stock leaf packs, as mentioned the outer shells in the eyes have to be cut out, DO NOT SHAVE BUSHINGS they are precise on size and fitment. They been on my truck for about 1000 miles and are good, combine then with greaseable bolts and they will last a lifetime, main thing is no squeaking underload. I can feel difference in ride quality too, very smooth and controls it well. Definitely will buy again when they decide to give out……..

Product itself seems great! My problem is the image shows two tubes of lube – my order only came with the bushings, no lube
