Got the leaf Spring TSB. Here are some pics !

Yea, should'a kept the Ford. You dont want the POS Tacoma, they are garbage.


Trust me when I say that you would have many more problems with your Ford over the years.

 

I like my Tacoma.....just sad that my old a## '83 ranger would haul more

 

I still bottom out with 700-900lb of load when I hit a dip or speed bump; not a big deal though.

 

ok, so i finally know what a leaf is thanks to the pics one of you guys put in... haha thanks very helpful, and I actually do have four leafs but is the bottom one looks kinda small.

 

idle words of my ex...
better for it to be small and there than not there at all....hahahhahahahah

 

So, I have an 07' 4x4 Sport, Can I get this done as well? I only have three leafsprings.

 

ok ima call tomorrow and get mine taken care of hopefully! i only have 3 leafs in the rear and it's an 06 4x4 double cab with not even 30k on it yet.. i just bought the truck used last week..one question though.. when doing the tsb they do give u the blist shocks correct?..even if it's not a trd?

 

That would be my post from a year ago or so..... Thanks for the credit !!! Geez, I would have thought the Toyota would have rectified their "bottoming out" problems once and for all for all newr models by now.... Guess I was wrong.....

As recent as last month, I got a PM from a fellow Tacomaworld member who followed my direction in the above old post, and got the new leaf-springs without any hassle.

 

I too followed khfactor's advice that was one of the original posts and totally bypassed the dealership and called Toyota Corporate. Within two days I had a call from the dealership in the next town (70 miles away) asking me if I wanted the work done there. He ordered the parts that same day and within one week I had my truck done. Thanks khfactor for the awesome advice

 

I never got this taken care of. Now I have 52k miles. Does that matter?

 

The rear TSB made a world of difference in the look and feel of the truck. Toyota should be doing this on all the Tacoma's....handles much better now.

 

So I dropped the truck off Thursday to get the TSb done. Appointment was at 0800, four hour job should have it back shortly after lunch. No problem. The dealer is 30min from work, so I get back to the office and have a message waiting on my desk from the dealership. Called them back and they said the went to install everything and realized they didn't have all the parts? Now isn't that something you should check when you recieve the parts before calling the costumer and scheduling an appointment? So they said they were missing a rear shock? Now according to the TSB the 08' w/ TRD only requires the leaf springs, right? I asked them and they said it required leaf + shocks...anyways my point, i drove 30min to drop the damn thing off, drove 30min back to work, just to make the trip all over again...and not even get anyhting accomplished. So what would you do...free oil change..ect? Good thing, still getting the TSB...then I can finally put my billie's on that have been waiting patiently in a box in the garage...

 

got my 09' done today. I requested they don't put on the new shocks because I already have 5100s. They did as I requested and I am pretty happy. The rear was lifted just under 1 inch on my DC. Ride is definately firmer and more planted. I am sure they will settle a little, which I hope they do.
My dealer rocks.

Had mine done Friday, What a Difference, my rear is up about 1 1/2".

 

Thanx to this thread I took a look under my fenderwell and whatdoyouknow,3leaf springs. I was first suspicious when 14 80lbs. sacks of concrete put a big squat on the yota. I wish I would have read this before I baught but to late for that. Has anybody had any luck with the TSB in the northwest. I would like to be able to haul an elk in my truck w/out doing a wheely

 

was it done outof pocket or did toyota pony up?

 

What if you already have a lift, for instance the Toytec 2.5ich leveling lift or other? Is it still possible to perform the TSB and if yes, does it do something?

 

No money out of pocket. I stopped in Tuesday 4:00 told them the problem, Dropped the truck off Friday morning and was complete by noon.

 

Will give it a try I hope the 3000 mile difference has no effect

 

Had TSB done under warranty on my '06 regular cab 4x4 last week. Here's the picks. It added 2.5 inches in the rear.
