    no lift just get it to hold the weight a little more level. Since the weight is in the truck all the time it looks stupid to be tilted back the way it does.

    You can always get a custom leaf pack made. Other than that the Firestone airbags are cheap and work great from what I hear.

    But since the weight is always in, if you just get a 1" or 1.5" add a leaf it will squat a little bringing you close to stock rear height with no weight.

    Print the TSB out and take it to your dealer. Take it with a load on and tell them it should not look or ride like it does. If they give you grief, take the TSB out and show it to them. If that doesn't work, roll the TSB up like a cone, and poker the idiot in the eye with it!

    If the TSB springs don't fix it for you, there was a guy on here who put on some supersprings and did a write up about them here

    So I have a '05 TRD and was wondering, can I still get this TSB or does the vehicle need to be in warranty to qualify?

    Thanks
