    This was done by a previous owner, not the dealership. No real reason for them to remove it unless it was requested by a potential buyer or the tech doing the service on it after trade in felt it needed to be removed.

    There was no ill intent on the dealers part

    No doubt, but it's worth asking. I'm not gonna lose my shit if he tells me no, I'm a reasonable person (not that common these days lol) so if he says no it's all good and I'll just drive around with it like it is for a while. If I had realized it was like that I would have asked before purchasing when I was still the potential buyer. And they would have done it for me, so I'm hoping in good faith they still will

    Is there only a spacer on the driver's side. I'm pretty sure your front is actually lifted not just leveled.

    There is a spacer on front driver and passenger side. How can I tell if there is a lift ?

    That makes it more likely removing the spacer fixes it. I'd bet the dealer will be willing to do it. I'm not sure how to tell if the coilovers are stock or lifted.

    I’d also ask the dealer some questions if they won’t correct the situation. Will my CV joints last as long as stock? How about my CV boots? Is the new bumper height verified by Toyota as being safe in a collision? It seems like it’s a defect to me.

    (Oh boy, this will make me popular!) :rolleyes:

    For what it's worth....it's an easy, straightforward procedure to remove the spacers. So if the dealership is unwilling, it shouldn't be particularly difficult to find someone to do it at a reasonable price.

    Hell....get on your local forum and tell someone they can have the spacers for free if they remove them

    Hey man just so you know THESE are my brights. Also don't know if my truck came stock with the whitish headlights and interior lights or if they're stock. At least the katzkin seats are nice

    I mistakenly assumed there were lifted coilovers and a leveling spacer rather than a simple spacer lift.
