    Yes, John Hoss was the service rep. I picked up my truck today after work at 5pm. It rides alot better then before, it also sits a little higher. Before the TSB, when I drove out of driveways and onto the street the truck would go left to right alot and bounce around. Now it feels more solid and not as much body roll. I agree definitely worth it.

    It looks like your vehicle still has to be under warranty for the the free suspension update. If not it looks like an out of pocket expense. Am I wrong?

    I had the it done at Toyota/Scion of Newnan. I described my harsh ride with about 600 pounds in the back. They took my truck back for the tech to take a look at it, and they ordered the parts that day.

    Parts were delivered the next day and the TSB took them about 3 hours with a new alignment.

    I have a 2006 Prerunner, Double Cab, 2 Wheel Drive with the 4.0 L.

    Hope this helps.

    How much of a hassle did they give you and what did you have to tell them. I'm gonna try the same with Toyota of Boerne. I have a 2008 DC PreRunner. Does anyone know if I am covered under the TSB?

    Thx

    I just talked to the service dept at Toy of Boerne and it looks like they are going to do the TSB for me. I told them I was bottoming out when helping a friend move. Will let you know what they say or do.

    if you're still under warranty, go into a dealer and complain about "a harsh ride when you have a light load." You can print out a copy of the TSB and bring that in.

    You can also search this thread for dealers in orlando that have performed it.

    complain about a harsh ride when you have a light load in the bed. Print out a TSB and bring it in to them. They have to do it.

    Make sure they also do an alignment.

    Power Toyota-Tempe, AZ just did mine. They got it right, replaced all four shocks, the leafs and did an alignment.

    I tried calling the 1800 and got brushed off, was told to go see the dealer. I walked into the dealer asked for the service manager and gave him the TSB. He was a little reluctant but didn't give me a hard time about it at all.

    Thanks to TW and everyone for all the information on the tsb. Toyota of Boerne is going to replace the shocks and add a leaf. Will post what type of job they do when the parts get in.
