Am I Missing a Leaf Spring?

long story short, got an OME lift with 2" aal. Bought a cap and noticed some sag with it on. Started researching prices for dakars or other ways to level it out again. Had a peek at the current leafs while brainstorming on what to do. I count 4 on my rig. The big overload leaf, the aal, then 2 normal ones. But it looks like there is room for one more leaf. Is that gap normal? I looked at the leafs on an other taco at my work and it doesn't have a gap like mine. His is newer though soo

 

My 12 AC only had 3 leafs before I replaced them with Dakars.

 

Take a pic further away.

 

What year is your truck? Early 2nd gens came with a 3-leaf pack, later 2nd gens came with a 4-leaf.

 

mines an 06, buddies at work is a 2011 i think. I'll take a farther away pic tomorrow some time

 

My 13 has 3 leafs

 

my 13 has 4, but I have a DCLB

 

My '11 has a 2+1 combo but it has both tabs so it is post TSB. I think all the newer 4x4's now come with post TSB 3+1 style.

Not sure if they still sell multiple versions of weight rated leafs or not.

 

My 13 DCSB has the post-TSB 4

 

Maybe what type of package you get determines how many leafs?? (sr5, Turd or tow)
just glad its not just me as most of the numbers are all over the place.

 

@yodatoyota mines an DCLB SR5 with tow package.

 

I have a 08 Sport with tow package, came with 3-leaf pack.

My understanding is the tow package includes the tow hitch, upgraded alternator, and tranny cooler for you slushbox guys.

 

Mine is SR5 with tow - but I think the 4th leaf was added pursuant to the TSB

 

Mine came with 3 and an overload, it's was used so who knows if it got replaced or came factory.

 

What is an overload?

 

@Sidney Vicious thick leaf closest to the axle, keeps the spring pack from getting too negatively arched (overloading)

 

So is the leaf closest to the axle is the overload? I have 4 leaves total - 3 plus an overload? Thx

 

the thickest one is the overload

 

i have four leafs, still slightly negative arc, and still cant hold squat, but squat it does if you add anything larger than a costco sized pack of TP in the bed!

 

I have a double cab as well.
