Archive Explorer Series "SHACKLETON" Leaf Springs Package Tundra 2000-2006

Fantastic ride quality and second to none build quality. Super easy to shipping to Canada. These are fantastic and I wish I did them sooner - very worth it!!

Talked with Eric over a year ago but recently purchased the MD leaf springs and installed them in the driveway. This is the best I’ve had this truck running. The ride quality is unmatched. Previously, the truck had stock springs and an add-a-leaf…it was level before added weight in the back which caused a squat. Now, the archive leaf springs are paired with OME front shocks and springs and rear shocks. The rake is perfectly balanced with headlight’s shining at a perfect angle. Even with added weight the truck handles flawlessly.

I had the pleasure of working with Eric of Archive Garage, who spent a considerable amount of time helping me find the perfect options for my 2004 Tundra Access Cab. Eric has first hand experience with the OG Tundra and designed the HD/MD Shackleton springs specifically around the chassis. Eric was also able to clearly articulate the benefits of buying Archive products over the competition, and more directly made a strong case for buying and installing the hammer hangers sold by AG to strengthen the rear end suspension over factory by a significant margin. The installation of both products isn't a casual DIY project, but I did manage to complete the task (hangers and HD leaf pack) in just under 8 hours. The ride quality is significantly smoother now, both with weight (1100lb truck camper) and without, which came as a pleasant surprise. I did speak with multiple competitors (Deaver, Alcan, Robinson, etc.) before making the purchase, but in the end, Eric's kindness, professionalism, and specific knowledge of the first gen Tundra far outweighed any argument to go with another company. I'm looking forward to eventually purchasing the shock relocation kit too, but for now am very pleased with everything about Archive Garage and the products I've purchased from them. If you're on the fence, just give them a call and make the purchase.

Upgraded my lift using OME suspension and unfortunately, the lift was a bit more than I expected which left my truck unlevel. Needless to say, I never even thought about the ride quality at the time. I upgraded to the HD leaf springs from Archive Garage and WOW!!! Huge difference. Leveled my truck out with about 400-500lbs in the rear and rides so smoothly. I'm actually a bit jealous that the rear of the truck handles bumps better than the front. I've done a few off-roading trips as well as daily driving my Tundra and just 100% satisfied with these springs. Exactly what I wanted! Great customer service helping me choose the right parts to finish my build. Thank you! (FYI, these are HEAVY so don't drop them on your foot as I did!)

Before I installed the Archive springs I was on the stock springs with 4 inch lift blocks and would constantly bottom out while loaded down with all my gear and bed rack / roof top tent. With these new springs I was able to get rid of the lift blocks completely and still almost retain the same ride height (rack and tent still on) It maybe dropped the ride height an inch in the back after it settled. I even haul around a dirt bike on a hitch carrier and haven’t hit the bump stops yet while going off road. Highly recommend these if you have a heavy load.
