97 tacoma rear suspension and diff placement

I have a recently purchased 97 taco that was lowered by the previous owner and I was going to un lower it when I realized the the rear diff was above the spring suspension when in other trucks that weren't lowered or even lifted the diff is below the leaf springs is this just my truck or is it reversible?

 

Spring over is found on 6 lug vehicles (Prerunner or 4x4) whereas 5 lug are spring under (2wd only variants)

 

You did see the fluid leak…

 

yep!

OP, on a 5 lug like this you just need to remove the blocks and get new ubolts (and probably shocks) to return it to stock height

 

Yes I did thanks

 

Thank you that is what I was wondering

 

Do you know any place to get the u bolts i checked just like oriley and other shops the bolts were to small

 

do you have any trailer or HD truck supply shops around? they usually can make them on the spot for cheap

 

Yes I had one trailer store and they said they don't have any unless a uhaul trailer store would have it then idk

 

unfortunately I doubt Uhaul would be able to help. You're likely going to have to order online

 

I expect General Springs to have them

They make tons of leaf packs and sell u bolts for many older and newer vehicles

No reason why they wouldn't have them for a 5 lug
