How Can I Raise the Rear End?

'95 Tacoma, v6 4x4, MT. Just put General Springs "stock" leafs on & the truck is lower in the back than the front by about 1/2". (in the length of a 4' level) Can I get some blocks to fit under the leafs to raise it up an inch? If so, where? TIA, Stan.

 

I would look into a an AAl or shakles.
Both can be sound a wheelers or low range

 

If you haul much weight I would recommend an add a leaf, if not just get longer/ adjustable shackles.

 

I got some cheap Amazon 1 inch blocks for mine.

 

Call Hugo at Toytec. They have a few options for rear lifts (aal, leaf packs, blocks, shackles)

 

Don't want/need AAL. Just put new shackles on with the leafs. I hate to spend money replacing something twice, tightwad that I am.

Yeah, saw some on there. Might be the route to go.

I will check them out.

 

You're going to have to buy something whether it be lift blocks (which also will require new U bolts), or shackles, or an add-a-leaf. Lift blocks end up causing more issues than they solve (they tend to increase axle wrap) so I would avoid those if you can.

Shackles will probably be the easiest to put on, and you can get the adjustable ones to dial in the right height.

Have you parked it on level ground and noted what it looks like? Since the front and rear fenders are different shapes/sizes, sometimes a truck with a frame that's "perfectly" level doesn't quite look right.

 

Yeah, I put a 4' level on the bed rail & it is 1/2" low, in the rear, in the length of the level. Probably will get the adjustable shackles.
