    Ok guys, so I just installed the front suspension from a Tacoma Baja XT to help me raise up my sagging OEM front suspension. I love the way it turned out, however, now I simply want to lift the rear end by simply an inch in order to achieve a perfectly level stance.
    Any recommendations out there without adding a 1" lift block?? Or is that my only option. Also, please keep in mind that I have the original 2006 rear leafs and the dealer never did the TSB correction on them... so what should I do?! Any help would be so very appreciated! Thank you all for your time and guidance. Enjoy your day and happy wheelin!

    I'd put your VIN into this website and see if you're eligible for new leafs. That'll lift you up a bit

    If you're only going 1" a block would be ok but not preferred. Add a leaf next option, if complete new leafs are not in your grasp.

    If you have the Baja suspension up front a 1.5" 3 leaf progressive without the overload leaf will be perfect. $189 shipped from @HeadStrong Off-Road

    Ask me how I know...

    This is the way I'm going to go with TRD Pro springs up front. Considering bump stops as well.

    That's what I did with my pro suspension. Switched to icons since and I still love my AAL - I did put my overloads back in but can't go wrong with these.

    Well... scheduled an appointment first thing in the morning with my local Toyota dealership in Waco and I'm going to request to have them FINALLY do the TSB rear leafs. So wish me luck!!

    So I went through this twice at the dealer now. I got them to add a leaf in the rear - that raised it almost 2"s. Then, they replaced the whole pack on another recall thing - the new 4 leaf pack sits at the same height as the original one. So mine is now back to stock height. Just beware that could be a thing for you, I need to buy a 2" lift kit for the rear now to level it out (to my front lift which leveled out the old rear lift...you know)

    Have had the same set on my 2005 and transferred to my 2010. They solved the weak rear springs of the '05 and after a few years, beefed up my '10 suspension after it began to soften. First installed at Off Road Warehouse and reinstalled on my 2010 by Jason, Speed Freek here.

    I had a 1" Block on my 2011 for years with zero issues and perfect for sagging. Was removed when my leafs were replaced under warranty. Will likely end up getting Air Bags in the future.

    From what I read around here, 1" blocks won't hurt anything. Post pics on what you decide.

    when they did my frame replacement on my 05 the dealer said i didnt need the leaf replacement
    toyota keep sending me the recall notice but dealer kept saying no
    a year later called toyo corp and complained, got a call the next day and dealer and they put them in
    I had a 1" block which was level with my front spacers and the new leafs gave me about a 1" rake at first but soon leveled out
    never had a problem with 1" block and have them in my 14

    If I were to have an issue at the dealership this morning and they deny the TSB, does anyone know the direct number that I would call to Toyotas corporate office in order to get them to jump on the dealership for me? Thanks and events everyone!

    Awesome! They are ordering my new TSB leafs and currently inspecting the frame to see if that needs to be replaced as well. Pretty hardcore but awesome I guess. Hope none of this affects my new front end conversion... Thank for all the advice and help everyone!!
