My truck with Spring TSB done (before and after)

Well just got back from the dealership, got my rear spring TSB done.

This is before











And this is after











Seems to me like i got about 1''
I feel the drive better, my truck doesn't bounce on the 4 bumps I have to drive through to get to my house anymore Like they've been saying it feels and drives more like a truck now

 

I didn't get my old spring back

 

nice

 

Yup, now I want my 5100's even more

 

Yeah You're right, very well then

 

Yep, get the 5100's. Looks nice though.

 

Thanks, I wanna put some load on it and see how it drives

 

What do I look for on my truck to know if I need this TSB? Wanna have an idea before I approach the dealership. 2007 QC TRD OR, 31,421 mi. still under warranty for three more years.

 

Congrats Bro!!

 

Some trucks don't "need" the tsb. They ride just fine on the stock springs.

Check your bump stops... if they're worn at all, then you probably should look into getting it done.

 

i have a question about eligibility too. i have an '09, with the sticker on the door talking about the reduction in load weight in the bed. But it says it's only a reduction of 2lbs. I haven't loaded a ton of weight in it yet, so not sure how it rides under load. I'm thinking with such a small reduction, i wouldn't be eligible, nor would I need it? But maybe I'm just clueless on what the TSB is actually used for?

 

Do a search around for the TSB file, read it and you'll find out if your truck applies.

 

Thanks

 

Well done. Looks great

 

Did they replace the shocks too? They should have.

Cheers.

 

They sent me one sticker that said reduction of "1 lb" LOL

 

Mine says reduction of "0 lbs"...no joke. Why even put the sticker on? lol

Looks good..i'll be doing this sometime in the future.

 

You need to look on the front page of the TSB at the "Applicability" for your year, and the "Additional Information" for your body & drive type, then also look at the "VDS" make sure that the 4 alpha numeric serial number appears in your trucks "VIN" number to see if its one of the ones that covered under this TSB.

 

Drive the truck for a week or so and then remeasure the the height.
Found i had 1.5 inches of lift right after the TSB was done.
About a week later i remeasured the back and it settled to where i only had 1 inch of lift in the back.
So when i installed the billy's, i set it at .85 instead of the 1.75 i was planning to.

 

i got my tsb done today,heres the list of what they did to my 2010 doublecab.now i need the billies next
