    what year is your truck? all i did was space the center support bearing down a little with a few washers on the driveshaft to make sure the angle was correct but thats it and mine is a 02.... edit yours is an 07 it should be the same... should have a slip spline by the rear diff and should be ok

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    This & theres no need to even change U bolts as long as your stockers arent thread stretched too bad, anything under 3" shouldn't need ext. brakelines, no added yokes or shafts w/2 piece drive shaft just need to drop the carrier an inch or so to correct drive angle, no need to shim axle generally with 2 piece shaft..

    members 1st gen leafs I rebuilt for about a 3.5" lift...

    the only question that is stupid is the question that goes unasked. yea the leafs are arched more than the ones on the tacoma so it will add lift by adding leafs into the pack
