skinnier as in narrower from say 50mm to 40 or thinner as in from 6mm to 4mm?
never heard of narrower leafs but yes the thinner leafs flex better. and yes you can get6 them.

never seen or heard of that. sounds like it would allow them to shift in the u bolts etc.
if you go for thinner leaves you can get better flex and still drive well for a truck.
there are plenty of options for improving hilux flex without much sacrifice on road. just do some reading.
