    Anyone else notice that your leaf springs are inverted? Or are mine just blown out? I tried searching to see if this has already been asked, but nothing came up.

    Tacoma factory springs are flat-ish at ride height, for a softer ride. Post a pic so we can see if yours are different than normal. Are you heavy?

    We do once I get home. I don't run with anything in the back and looked really flat to me. Had a cap installed yesterday and now look inverted. Lol

    Definitely needed to change out the rear pack. Went with OME mid weight and couldn't be happier. Ride's like a dream now.

    And leaf pack is no longer inverted!! The picture was with the cap and my old wheels and tires in the back.
