    i have a 2wd Tacoma so I don't have a lift but Thur my wife is getting one on her vehicle. This will be our first 1 ever. Just doing shocks, springs, stabilizer, wheels and tires. My question is after it's done will we need to go back after a "break in" period or will we be good to go? Didn't know if anything will need to be re torqued or anything. Again, new to this but I know this forum is fantastic and more than qualified.

    I think you may have answered a question I had. Was looking thru old forum questions to see if I could find an answer. I cracked my leaf springs on both sides on my 01 so I bought some heavy duty ones to replace them. I didn't realize how much higher the rear end would come up. I knew the old ones would have some sag in them and a new pair would bring it up a bit but dam, it came up a few inches. Now it vibrates alot. Was thinking the drive shaft may not be aligned properly now but would new leaf springs throw off my alignment that much?
