    Anyone else notice the rear end of their Tacoma sagging more. My 2009 DC is at the point where the springs have no arch and are pretty much flat. Anyone, complain to the dealer and get any results under warranty?

    I believe they are made to be more on the "flat" side than super arched, it gives a smoother ride.

    I hauled my 400DRZ a couple of times but that was all I have done. I don't think I have abused the payload capacity. I just don't like the way my truck sits now. It certainly appears to have "settled" from when i first bought it home.

    Agreed , mine has settled .

    I had a 300 lb toolbox from my old truck that wouldn't fit crossbox , so I hauled it longways for about 2 months , the springs are now flat .

    This is how mine sits now , a lot less rake than when I got it.

    It's gotta be one of the worst things ever produced by Toyota for the Tacoma. The OME Dakars solved my problem.

    My 2009 DC leafs are flat as well, kind of frustrating for the price paid on these things in Canada.

    Not Canadian but have the 4-leaf pack and am in the same situation as OZ-T. I ended up getting a new TSB leaf pack from another member and will couple it with a 1.5" 3 leaf AAL and hopefully get back to stock rake with the cap and tools I keep in the bed. I've found that the Tacoma's leaf springs aren't worth the steel they took to make...
