    Hi Jay
    Welcome to TacomaWorld
    No
    Leafs support vehicle weight already so jacking under spring will only raise the vehicle.

    Your owners manual will show the recommended jacking points.

    While you wont bend a leaf, the curvature can make jack placement very sketchy.

    Oh ok thanks
    My issue is that I installed rear 1 inch blocks and now I have more wheel space on the passenger side than the driver side it’s about 1/2 inch of difference
    So I wasn’t sure if I bend the leaf spring when installing the blocks

    Odds are it was 1/2 different before and you didn't notice it.

    I would say it's not recommended to jack from the leaf springs as it would stress the spring in an area where it's not designed to. Spring steel would break not bend.

    That won’t help. Some trucks will have a difference some won’t.

    Welcome to TW...If the driver side is the lower side it’s probably the infamous taco lean, most Tacoma’s have it.

    always measure from center of hub vertically to fender lip. That takes the tire size out of the equation.
