    2.5 inch lift, 285/75r16s, upgraded stereo system, Magnuson mp90 supercharger system.
    How is this “level “? It’s low in the back by at least an inch or so

    That's what I thought.. You have ~4.5" of lift on the drivers side. Can post pic of the strut assembly? Coil seats may be upside down. Are these the stock coils?

    Yes the coils are stock, but I didn't do it myself I had it done at Mavis Tire. That doesn't mean it was done right though.

    They need to be taken apart and coil seat flipped.

    They had my truck for approx 10hrs because they were slammed. They should give me a refund.

    Thank you for making the suggestion, I watched numerous videos in the event I got the courage to try it myself. I remember specifically seeing how the coil seat should be placed. I didn't even think to look until you suggested it.

    Ok. It’s low then. I’m not there to measure it. I’ll take your word for it.

    LNMTacoma2013 If you want fairly level w/o touching the rear I'd have them set it at the 0.85 notch (2nd from bottom).

    If they were slammed that means they do good work. 10 hrs is nothing, if you left it with me I would have told you I needed the truck for 2 days.

    It's a super embarrassing mistake for sure but just bring it back and give them a chance to make it right. They don't owe you a refund, they owe you an apology.

    You're lucky they even offered to install your customer supplied parts, they're doing you a favor. Bring them some beer

    I'd have this done in 2 hrs max in my garage with no shop tools.

    Actually, I have an appointment next Saturday and that's what they were going to do. Take it apart and set it on the lower notch, but at this point they still have no idea that the one coil cap is upside down. I would prefer to keep the front at 2.5 lift and then do a Aal in the rear. I will eventually get bigger tire too.
