    I am getting my old 3 leaf pack replaced with the new 4 leaf pack next month when I receive the recall notice from Toyota. Do you think I will see any noticeable difference in the rear height? Also are they lasting any better than these crappy ones I have now?

    Stupid FedEx requires a signature to deliver my exhaust or it wouldve been here today. How dumb.

    Frequently it is the shipper not FEDEX that requires a signature. Shipper pays extra for that service.

    You will see almost 1 inch difference when they install the pack. I believe I had my coilovers cranked to 2 inches to level my truck once I got the 4 pack. I've loaded mine to the bumpstops quite a few times and have had no issues. To me, they were much better than the 3 pack springs. I've put around 65k on these. Over the summer I will probably either add a leaf or get a new pack since I want more lift.

    You can setup a no signature required with FedEx, either for a single package or all further packages. You can even specify a location for them to put it if you aren't home (Back Porch, shed, behind the yucca bush...) You of course pick up the risk if it isn't on your porch when you get home.

    Thanks!

    I plan on add a leaf right after I get the new 4 pack. Which add a leaf would you going with or recommend?

    Exception being some packages require an Adult signature or the courier cannot leave them.

    Haven't researched through them at this time. That will begin when I am ready to buy. If I start researching to early, I end up buying it before I am ready. Then I start making snap decisions because I want to get it on the truck and fall down the rabbit hole.

    There are many ways to lift the rear, the best is generally considered buying a new pack. The worse is using blocks. There are even odd ways such as a shackle flip.

    I actually used lift shackles for one of my old vehicles (Chevy ZR2 Blazer) and gotta say I really liked the height difference and kept ride quality. They were specifically made for the vehicle by a vendor on the site. Can't say I have seen any for tacos or runners though.

    I got a Magnaflow 17115.

    This is the problem. It required an adult signature.

    Has Toyota actually confirmed next month is when they are starting to replace the leafs? I've got a few letters stating "I'd be getting another notice when they had a fix". I hope you're correct.
