    Hello all, I have recently lifted my 2013 TRD Sport with a 6inch DB lift, now the rear is sagging and the springs look like they are flat or even inverted.
    Will new springs cure this, or should I add more leafs to the setup?
    Could the shocks have something to do with this?
    Any advice i can get with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hard to really say, but I’m assuming your rear lift was a block. Overtime leaf springs will flatten. If yours are indeed flat, then yes, it will attribute to a lower ride height.

    in my opinion blocks are a very poor way to lift the rear of a truck. They create more problems than they solve.

    @faawrenchbndr, first of all thank you for the reply. I do have blocks under the springs. Is there a set of leafs that will raise it up with no blocks? What is the best way to lift the rear in your opinion?

    are the shocks stock or aftermarket? AAL might help, but the shocks can also limit the amount of droop you have if they are stock size.

    @YotaFAB , They are aftermarket N3 shocks that came with the lift.

    After searching some other threads, looks like a lot of people are going with Alcan custom lifted springs. I just requested a quote for replacing my four inch blocks. I appreciate everyone's input .

    Yes sir! It will take a bit to get them fabricated, but I think it's going to be what I was looking for.
