    I was thinking of buying these and the seller says they give about a 4" lift. I'm interested but don't want to buy them if they are stock with an AAL. Can anybody identify them? Just want quality if I can get with a good deal. If not I'm going with the All Pro Expo's, but I would like to save if I can. Thanks!

    Stock Tacomas have a 3-leaf pack plus the overload (reversed-arch thick leaf). So that photo appears to have a rather long AAL added to the pack, just above the overload.

    Stock for now
    Actually, the TRD Off Road leaf packs are 2+1; the TRD Sport leaf packs are 3+1. I'm not sure about SR5.

    So are you all saying they are after market Leaf packs? Should I pick them up?

    Complete OME kit w/ 881's and dakars. All-Pro Sliders, CB, HAM Radio and various other minor stuff.
    If you're looking to lift, I'd pass on these leafs. They look alot like OEM leafs with an AAL which at most will give you 1"-1.5". The thick overload leaf is a giveaway that these are OEM leafs.

    just go all-pro expo and be done with it. anything with aal will eventually flat out sooner or later if your towing/load heavy stuff.
