    so, does anyone have some old stock leaf packs, maybe with a AAL?

    My old leafs with the add a leaf are at GTF, I bet Dan would give them to you. I'll ask him when I get back into town on Tuesday if you would like?

    How many miles do you have? All stock 2nd gen leafs sit and a negative arch. That's just how they are

    ahh. just passed 92K. I was just bumming around the suspension section and thought I read it was a bad thing. I think it has always been that way for me since i got it in 2011. But the previous owner didn't get the 4 leaf pack (3+1) TSB done...so it's only got the 3 pack (2+1). it sits really pretty nice and level right now with my billies at .85", but when i put my 4 wheeler in the bed she sits like a champ. thought maybe if i got a 4 leaf pack and went to 1.75 on my billies, that might look good too. Thanks for the heads up on the negative arch...just kind of odd. never really paid much attention to it before.

    My taco had flat to negative arch since the day I got it and it had the TSB. Your leafs aren't going bad but you can pick up an AAL if it really bugs you. You can get those cheap

    Flat springs are not normal toyota made the tacomas springs way to soft I have stock leaf packs with a add a leaf and they are still positive even with a canopy and fire wood in the back.

    They were in decent shape, probably took them off the truck when it had 35,000 miles.

    Sunday the seventh it is! ;) mod day included! Bring your projects. Trucks can live in my backyard as long as necessary, you just may find mine has extra parts when you pick it up.

    So who has used the monster wash on dimond? I went today and holy crap, best automated car was I've ever had. It took of everything. 3 week old mud included. It was shaking my truck from the high water pressure. Haha. Highly recommend it if you're into paying for car washes. I normally don't but I don't have a place to wash my truck anymore.
