Welcome to Mud!

What brand leaf springs?

And if the TLCA membership got as high as your number that would be a great thing.

I believe Rancho is the only vendor of 3 leaf spring packs for 40s unless they are from a different application. The Rancho 3 leaf packs are known to be very stiff and I would not run them myself.

A picture would really help us identify what springs you have. Are there any stickers or numbers on the springs?

Actually stock FJ40 springs are very very soft. If they seem stiff to you it is probably because you are hitting the bumpstops.

I have seen two or three brands on "three leaf" springs. Rancho does not sell them however. Not for years now. All of these springs I have dealt with are miserably stiff and I would not put them on anything.
