    Call the Toyota Customer Experience Center. Google it for the 1-800 number. You should tell them that you've experienced sagging and some bottoming out of the rear with a load much smaller than advertised capacity (total capacity is about 1500lb in ours, so that leaves about 1200lb useful payload). Might have to get creative with a story, but the 3-leaf pack will bottom out at as little as 600 lb in the bed, so you could just go with that.

    The people on the phone are really courteous and will help you out. Don't mention the TSB, just tell them abotu bottoming out and sagging and they'll do the rest. They see this problem all the time. Good luck!

    Ok thanks I plan on contacting my dealer next week since I work at Toyota manufacturing they handle problems with me a little different so they usually get rite on it. I'm hoping I'll have no problems getting it done

    whats funny about our trucks is bone stock they look so small. I just installed a Fatbobs spacer lift and 235/75/15 tires and it feels like an actual full size truck. its wierd.

    Got the 5100s installed up front last week, I am on stock springs and rear leaf TSB pack. Here's the before and after of the "lift" if you want to call it that. about 1.75-2" all around.

    Bone stock:

    After 5100s at 1.75" up front on stock coils

    Truck rides really good now. Stiffer than stock, but better cornering and feels a lot more comfortable driving now. After the rear leafs were installed, the truck had a lot of rake and that combined with the low seating position was giving me some back pain on long trips (I'm 6'3" fyi). Pain and any discomfort is all gone now, along with the body roll during cornering. Love the 5100s. I was on the fence even when they arrived but it was a great addition to a great vehicle!

    Other opinions?
