New Truck SAG??

I've had my 08 4X4 TRD DBL cab since Sept. I noticed it had kinda low clearance all around for a 4X4, but I just figured new trucks/factory settings, all trucks are mfg lower these days. Plus my 95 Taco had a 2 1/2 lift on it.

I had a hunch today after washing the truck to measure both wheel wells & the front tow hook. I went to the dealership later & measured the exact same truck. So mine is 1" lower in front fender, 1/2" lower in back, & 3/4" lower by the front tow hook.

Any ideas?

This is a big deal to me. I do a moderate amount of off roading & need all the stock clearance I can get. I have plans for a 2 1/2 " lift on it later, but need to get this resolved first.

I plan to call the dealership Wednesday for an appt. I wonder how they will try to wiggle out of this?

 

they might tell you to go on a diet?

 

Look under the rear of your truck at your leaf springs - do you have 2 leafs + overload (total of 3)?

If so....

Leaf spring TSB. It'll give ya a little boost in the rear (1" or so - 3 leaf + overload (total of 4)).

In my experience the suspension will settle just a little bit shortly after you buy it and start driving it around regularly. My truck was higher during my first week of owning it than it is now

 

ndcouch is correct, nothing to be really concerned about.
