Assembly Guidance
Installation requires the FMS rear leaf spring kit and four M2.5 nuts. Alternatively, the author notes that M2 hardware can be used for the holders and mounts instead of M2.5 nuts. If the original source link is unavailable, the author suggests searching for "1/10 Atlas Rear Leaf Springs."

<p>this is for the <strong>rear only</strong>, since I am modeling it after a real tacoma and IFS's don't have leaf springs. you need the <strong>FMS rear leaf spring kit</strong> (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="editor-link" href="https://www.fmshobby.com/products/1-10-mashigan-rear-automobile-leaf-springs-sets?srsltid=AfmBOoqSpGjxdFspBrQdtXk4XkjmPZxGVRQus786-b7kFiEdJH9mBvCn">this one</a>) and <strong>4 M2.5 nuts</strong>. <strong>or you can also use M2 hardware for the holders/mounts</strong>, if you would rather not buy M2.5 nuts. <strong>it works either way</strong>, i personally use M2 hardware cause I have so much lol. if the link doesn't work in the future then just search for the "1/10 Atlas Rear Leaf Springs". i'll post a video eventually showing how to install them. happy crawling!</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="editor-link" href="https://youtube.com/shorts/rtg_uNKtQoU?si=CCa0g_P73UrW7zr5">video of them working</a></p>
