    I think it's common for Tacoma springs to look flat or even arched backward (down) when installed. Can anyone confirm?

    The toyota leafs are pretty flat when stock.

    How many miles are on your truck? Can you post a picture with no weight in the bed?

    @wilcam47 That’s the overload leaf. It’s meant to point downwards and only really comes into play when you’re carrying weight in the bed as the other leafs sag down and come into contact with it.
