Pics of my rear leafs. Can anyone confirm or deny if I need new ones?

    Toyota packs, even when brand new are pretty flat. If you are on a budget and not looking for any lift, you may want to just look into getting a set of TIMBRENs for load support, and a set of new rear 5100s to control everything.

    The leaks look pretty normal to me.

    I went to the Toyota Dealership a few weeks ago and I was looking at the new 2011 4x4 Tundras with the TRD off Road package. Reading lots of posts on here people telling other members to replace their "bad" flat packs.

    So i was curious and I looked under the brand new 2011 Tundra to look at the leaf packs and they were FLAT!

    So members on here got me all paranoid and said my leaf packs were bad.

    After I left that dealership I felt releaved.

    More pics in my gallery if you're interested. Sorry I don't have a pic of the new leaf packs from the front. The front half of the leafs sit just about horizontal, slight upturn and the back half have a definite upward arch.

    Oh and I swapped out my stock suspension with Wheeler's 5 packs, OME 881's and 5100's all the way. Thanks YotaDan! :thumbsup:

    thanks for the pics. my leafs don't look like the failed ones, but they don't have the arc your new ones do. i'm still on the way to fail, but not there yet

    i think mine are the same as yours. not as much arc as the new ones, but not flat yet. would an AAL still work? or i'll just waste my money? i don't do any towing and i don't carry much load either.

    so you got 5100s in the rear and 881s in the front? why not 5100s all the way around?

    oh oh. right. i got confused because on wheelers site when you click OME prodocuts they show a pic of a shock but I guess that's their 90004 NitroCharger shock

    Time for another group buy. :D

    I still have the stock shocks, coils, and leaf springs, but I want to upgrade. Unfortunately, someone cut down my money tree in the back yard. Time to save up.
