    Actually the rear does look lifted... Stock leafs with a broken leaf would probably be flat or bowing down. I think i see something off though. Can you take a picture of the front of the leaf pack?

    I don't have a picture of my (pre-lift) leafs, but that's not right - It looks like the leaf pack is coming apart.

    it almost looks like they took it apart and put them back in the wrong order?

    someone must have been cheap and trying to fix the weak leaf pack or they added one from some other truck to lift it.

    I have no lift on my prerunner (completely stock) and I have 6" from top of tire to bottom lip of fender well in front and 8" on the back so see what the differences are between the two trucks to see how much lift you have and if its lifted in front as well.

    do you want to keep the lift and bigger tires, or would you like to go back to stock that matches your std cab?

    just wondering why you have the two 4wd trucks, are you in process of moving over to the green truck and getting rid of the red one?

    I will measure when I get back to it. And the reason for two tacomas is that two is better than one hahahah. The red one is my dd gas saver 2.7 5 speed and i just acquired the green one for another off road beater truck. I bought it with a bad Trans for a pretty good deal. I buy a lot of broken tacomas and fix them. I also have 2 wrecked 4wd trucks.

    The green truck is deffinatly going to stay lifted. It has 2" spacers in the front at the moment with a horribly week driver coil. And As I stated in the previous post I just ordered 5100s an eibach coils for the front of it. And the matching shocks for the rear. Just trying to figure out my best options for the rear lift are at the moment. I will get some measurements for you guy asap

    well the measurement are going to be what tells you "how much" lift you have so you know what to buy to put it back like it was before, it looked kinda level in the pics so im betting it had kept the stock "rake" since it had to be sagging with those broken leafs

    It looks level but the back sits higher with the wheels in the straight ahead position. With the wheels cut to the driver side it levels it up pretty decent. I will get more pix for reference. I had the wheels cut that way because I was replacing the bumper. It's at least an inch low on the driver side front
