    Today, I had Toyota perform the 4 leaf spring TSB among other things all covered under warranty since my 2009 only has 35K on it. They are also replacing the AC Compressor as it makes ridiculous marble in a can noises.

    But, back to the topic on hand: The truck seems to definitely stand taller in the back and it has a pronounced rake.

    Is this normal? Should I be worried they did something wrong or does the front need new springs to match or something?

    I am still a taco n00b, so I apologize if this is a dumb question...:eek:

    Thanks

    Having added a leaf, the back will have been raised. Since the truck is three years old, there was probably a little bit of sag in the leafs before, and now that they put in new leafs, with a bigger pack, there should be a little more rake than before

    It's normal. The new springs will settle over time so the back end won't seem so high after some use.
