What leaf spring fits my ke25?

[devilsix]

Does leaf spring from any other toyota fit my 71 ke25?   Does it fit from a ke36?

I can’t answer if ke36 will fit, you will need to do some measurements. But I have KE26 rear springs in mine currently which bolted straight in. 

Do be aware that your early KE25 has small front eyelets where they mount, so the later large eyelet springs won’t fit, unless you get a spring works to alter them

Thank you for the reply.   What is the different in the early and later ke25 leafs`?? Are the bushing in the front bigger? or hole in the bushing bigger??  Not possible to use late leaf on early car without cut and weld?? 

No one here knows if ke30 leafs fit??

Early cars to Aug 72 have a smaller front body mounting point, and the eye in the spring is correspondingly smaller

HMm.  Could i just use a later leaf and make a sleeve? I have heard people mention This solution But don't know if it is doable

Surely simpler to have a spring works alter the front eye rather than sleeving

What are you trying to achieve by fitting KE30 springs?

[devilsix]

where i live it is hard to come by early ke20 parts, or ke20 parts at all. Thats why I'm asking for ke30 springs. They are much easier to find around here

Do you have a set of KE2x springs on the car? You can always take those to a springworks locally and get them reset. They could even add a leaf if required. Just talk to them about what you are trying to achieve. If KE30 springs fit, I doubt they are much different in height or rate, plus they are pushing 45 years of age

Edit: And you will need to get the front eye made smaller anyway
