    Hi guys i'm new here to TW this is my first thread post. I just bought a 2012 DCSB in June. I am the second owner but knew the first owner. I was under the rear of my truck today and noticed my leaf springs are flat. the passenger side is worse. I'm hoping to be able to get this fixed fast as to avoid them breaking. Is there a TSB out for the 2012 Tacoma? This truck only has 40,000 miles on it and wasn't used to haul anything heavy or tow any heavy trailers. I want to lift my truck eventually but Its not in the budget right now. What are my options?

    I had the same concern on my 2010, but a couple of the vendors told me they are designed flat, as long as they aren't frowning it should be ok

    Get the wheelers HD leaf pack and pull a leaf if ypu want to stay near stock ride height in the rear for now

    Dakars and no front lift would be retarded
