Overview
The ARB CS046RA is a leaf spring from ARB 4×4 Accessories, part number CS046RA, listed as a direct fit for the 1998–2004 Toyota Tacoma. The fitment list covers the Base, Limited, Pre Runner, S-Runner and SR5 models. Its two-stage leaf pack carries the truck unladen on the primary leaves and adds the secondary stage when the load goes up.
The leaves are draw tapered and diamond cut to spread the load over a larger area. They carry a graphite coating for lower friction, and the tension side of each leaf is shot peened. Each spring is scragged and load tested, which keeps the set and the rating consistent.
The Tacoma’s first generation spans this range, so the fitment list is the most reliable guide to which trucks this spring was made for. Because the spring is a rear part in ARB’s family, checking the axle type and the spring hangers against the truck before fitting is a practical step.
The Tacoma spring’s two-stage design and military wrapped eye are the parts of the description that matter most for the fit and the ride. Matching the spring to the specific Tacoma years and trims listed above is the step that confirms the fit before the spring is installed on the truck.
Key features
- Two-stage pack for a comfortable unladen ride and extra support under load.
- Draw tapered leaves carry the load progressively along the spring.
- Diamond cut leaf ends lower the stress that builds at the tips.
- Scragged so the spring keeps a set and resists sagging.
- Load tested against its specification.
- Graphite coating between the leaves.
- Regreasable nylon anti-friction pads at the leaf tips.
- Military wrap on the spring eye for added safety.
