    So i know about the taco lean, thats not what this is. I noticed the other day that my rear end was 2 whole inches lower on the left than the right. Found out I had a recall on my leaf speings so i figured one cracked... Got them replaced... Problem not solved.

    Correct me if im wrong but the only 2 things that could affect ride height is the leaf springs and shocks right? So it must be a blown shock then right?

    Only one thing. Springs.

    Shocks are dampers for springs and do nothing regarding ht.

    I'd go back to the shop and say 'it's lopsided, why?' (and stop talking about before, after, etc.) and let them deal with it.

    I think Tacoma leafs are just shit from factory. mine don't even have an arch and they are squeaking more and more every day. im so close to ripping them out and throwing them off a damn cliff.
