    :yay: Glad you finally got it. So sorry for all your troubles. I had to go through a few hoops to get mine done, everything you mentioned short of putting sand/quickcrete in my truck.

    Dealers usually HATE warranty work, because the manufacturer reimburses a fixed amount for labor that is often less than the shop rate you pay, and sometimes for less time than it actually takes to do the work.

    And while the dealer is doing the TSB at the reduced rate that Toyota pays, some retail service customer who pays the full $120 an hour shop rate can't get in to get their valve stems lubed, so the dealer loses twice.

    You should expect to see that settle at least 3/4". I have found that my truck kept settled well over an inch...but I load it up to capacity a few times per week.

    That's fine. Thanks for the heads up. I just wanted the TSB done so now I can start replacing my suspension parts (lifts etc) without later having to worry about Toyota not honoring the TSB on my modified suspension.

    if only i had tuned into this site before i went out to buy my truck.

    today, i was hauling furnitures like couches and tables on the truck and the truck didnt seem to sag. i also hauled an 8ft trailer with more funitures in there and still didnt see a big difference. the combined weight had to be more than 800lbs considering both the bed and the trailer was full at once.

    NONE ..just bought it
    I just bougt an 07 trd off road and the tsb had not been done.. I called toyota customer service told them I was bottoming out and they took a report number and asked where I service the vehicle.. I told them concord.. I called the dealer ship and they looked at it and it is being done. 38k miles.. some dealerships are better than others.. I told them I put my dirt bike in the back and the ride was horrible.. granted I had just bought the truck from them a few days earlier.. thank for the info on this board I got it fixed now I just need new shocks for the front..
