    Thanks, and yes it's a 2011. You can see people's trucks in the blue text near their screen name :gossip:

    How are you liking yours so far? Picked mine up in September, very happy so far

    Lucky. I bought mine it Atlanta and had almost that much on it by the time I got it home! :eek:

    FYI if you ever want the rear spring TSB done, or have other issues with your local dealer, Carl Hogan Toyota here in Columbus is pretty solid as far as service goes. I didn't buy from them but they still treat me very well and I had no trouble getting the rear TSB done, and they replaced my steering wheel because of a leather issue last week with minimal trouble. I mention it because a lot of guys on here have trouble getting their dealer to do even basic warranty work. Hope you never need it though!

    its a pita but well worth it look for a good alignment place, I'm going on my second alignment because the first place were idiots, from what I've read try to get the camber closest to 0 caster around 2.0-2.5 and toe closest to 0 and you should be ok. they told me they couldn't adjust my camber.... as it sits this is what it looks like, and thats why I'm getting it redone lol bunch of Morons. my stupidity i should have never left until it was done right but at the time i didn't know what were acceptable specs with is why I'm telling you before hand lol.

    Thanks for that, you just saved me a lot of time and probably a hassle somewhere. I remember seeing a spec sheet as part of the rear TSB, so I think I'll print that out and take it with me wherever I get it aligned.

    I know I'm about to ask a dumb question but what is the rear TSB ? I have a friend that has a 2011 Tacoma exactly like mine and there is a lot of difference between ours like steering wheel is different and radio and back-up camera.

    Click the last link in the list on the first post for the Toyota PDF on it.

    Basically, our trucks payload ratings are based on having a four-leaf rear spring pack above the rear wheels. In their great wisdom, Toyota decided that Using three leafs in most production models would yield a softer better ride for the driver. Given that a huge majority of America never puts anything in the bed, that seems like a good idea. Except that by doing this, our trucks sag and bottom out under loads as small as 500lb in some cases.

    I don't haul much, but I damn sure wanted the advertised payload for the days I'm using it to move things. Also, it is my personal opinion as well as that of most others that the truck corners better and actually rides better with the upgraded spring pack.

    There's plenty of threads on TW about the rear spring TSB, it's a free warranty replacement item. You have to actually "experience" bottoming out for some dealers to put the new pack in though. Two weeks after getting my truck, I called the Toyota Customer Experience Center and told them I had experienced those issues, and they gave me a Case #, and forwarded that info to my local dealer. Had the work done the next week, about 2.5 hours total.

    So do some research and see if that's something you'd like for your truck. You have until the end of your 3 year 36k mile warranty to have it done. Lastly, It will raise your rear end about 1.5 inches, giving the truck more rake. :sandwich:

    Some have em, some don't. Go out and look at the rear wheels, they will have some horizontal black steel bars that looks like this http://image.4wheeloffroad.com/f/ed...ong-travel-suspension/10884388/no-subject.jpg

    Count all of them, including the small on the very bottom of the pack. Non-TSB has 3, TSB pack has 4.

    With the exception of your right camber (which is close to ok) your specs look fine. More caster would be better but I bet youre maxed out due to the lift. You could always get new UCAs but your still within spec now.
