    so a while back i got a revtec 3 inch suspension lift installed and big surprise a couple years went by and my stock leaf springs wore out, so i took the blocks out and put 3 inch lift all pro springs in. now my rear end sits higher than my front. I think all i have are 2.5inch coil spacers in the front. is there anyway i can get the front up just a tad higher? im hoping for an easy fix but im pretty sure there isnt one. Also my taco is a first gen. i would appreciate any advice. thanks!

    what's your hub/fender reading in the rear?

    new leaf springs will give more than their rated lift until theyre broken in (usually)

    Ditch the Revtek spacers and get some coils.

    Konaborne has a point how new are the springs? They will eventually settle.

    khaos, would the coils instead of spacer get me up a little higher?

    depending on what coil you get
    my eibachs got me 3.5" lift initially

    have you wheeled the leafs? that breaks em in a lot quicker than road driving
