    I recently took my Tacoma to the local Toyota dealer to have the rear spring TSB performed. After the service work was performed, the service rep. said they replaced the rear coils, rear shocks, new bump stops, and for some reason they also replaced the front springs and shocks. The problem is, the driver's side sits 3/4 inch lower on both front and rear. I measured several times with a wood ruler and the same location on both sides with a level, so my measurements are correct. The Measurements are. Driv. Front 34 5/8 Pass front 35 3/8
    Driv. rear 37 Pass rear 37 3/4

    I want to raise the pass front about 3/4" and the Driver front about 1 1/2" to make the truck level in the front. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

    Don't see why the dealer would replace the shocks, since your truck already came with the required Bilsteins from the factory, and the TSB explicitly said not to replace them (which means the dealer wouldn't be reimbursed by Toyota for the shocks).

    Sounds like they installed the driver side on the passenger side, and vice versa.
