    It's the aluminum looking thing right below the leaf pack.

    Awesome. Thanks. Trying to learn more about al this. Just did a 3 leaf aal on my truck. Rides much better.

    That block definitely seems like it needs to go. Seems it would ride super funky with that in.

    You could also invest in a 3-leaf progressive AAL in combination with some longer shocks. That will smooth the rear right out.

    How do I go about adding a leaf? Where do I get one? Or should I just order all new?

    You could checkout 4wheel parts.

    I’d suggest removing the block first and see if you like the ride without the block. Then you can decide if you want to do the pack or the simple AAL. Meanwhile you can research more about the one you’d like.

    With a AAL and 1" bock you should be at 3" lift in the rear. Those rear shocks say RCD on them so they should be the B110's rated for 3-4" of lift. @HeadStrong Off-Road might be able to help identify them.

    They are just the standard if you go by the part number on them.

    Gotcha, never had the standard length ones I always assumed the RCD logo on them was because they were designed for the RCD 5" kit

    If you look at your leaf pack in the pics you provided, you’ve already got a single leaf AAL on top of the 1in block, that’s why your sitting so high in the rear. Take one of the two out and you’ll be golden. Toyota spring packs are either 3 leaf (2 main and 1 overload) which was pre tsb, or what you have which is 4 leaf (3 main and 1 overload) but you have a 5 leaf pack which means you have an AAL as well. That should solve the issue. I would suggest to take the block out and go back to stock u bolts, AAL > blocks any day.

    @Tacocam24 It sounds like you need to take that block out of the rear and you'll be set

    They are the standard 5100's. Just the RCD version of them.

    Probably hadn’t killed a cow or deer or whatever animal they used for it. Just jeep ordering stuff. Sure you’ll get one sooner or later. And you Tacoma will thank you for all the cool mods
