    Got a 2020 Tacoma TRD OR that already had a lift kit on it - has Eibach pro lift kit with Dirt King UCAs. My question is, the back sits slightly lower than the front (1/2 inch to an inch max) and instead of the provided Eibach rear blocks he put different what looks to be slightly bigger blocks. Is this okay and can I adjust the front snap rings to lower/level the front without anything being affected?

    Can't provide input on your question but recommend you change the title of your post. "Help" is generally only used when someone is in an emergency situation and needs immediate assistance.

    Hope someone can answer your question.

    Okay that’s what I was thinking, should be good even with the other blocks that’s been put in?

    No, it's not. There have been many instances of a stuck member while offroading who posts "help" in the title and tacomaworld bands together to rescue them. Welcome to TW.

    Well i hear that blocks can increase axle wrap so the big blocks can wear ur leaf springs faster than normal.

    blocks are a shortcut but theyre not terrible. U could leave them and save up for a new leaf pack like dakar or deaver

    @giliou Welcome to TW.

    As others have said, using the term Help in a title on this site is akin to yelling Fire! In a crowded theater. There are some good people on this site who actually will go out and Help if a member actually needs it.

    In your case you need advice. And a more descriptive title.

    would a new leaf pack in replacement of the blocks affect ride quality at all?

    Measure the block he used and go bigger. If he used a 1 inch block try a 2 inch block. Its easier than lowering the front and then another alignment. Nothing wrong with a 2 inch block but that is the largest I would use.

    No, i mean a stronger leaf pack could be stiffer but allow u to haul more shit in the bed. A custom leaf pack from deaver could make the rear exactly how u want it. Ive got a fiberglass campershell and the dakar medium duties, it fixed my rear squat and the ride feels the same.
    I hate riding now high. Depending how much lift u have in the front u may want to lower it. General consensus here is that anything over 2.5” of lift up from will cause excessive wear to the cv boots

    So I took it to a 4x4 shop today to get an in person opinion, he said it looks pretty much level to him maybe a half inch difference and if I notch down the front a half inch it may interfere with the tires rubbing, and that it was perfectly fine with the blocks on there. And if I start putting weight in the back that they can add airbags in the back so it won’t sag or aal

    Looks slightly nose high in the pic to me. Even more so when you put it in gear and drive down the road.
    Front could be lowered but would have to diassemble the front suspension or u could switch to a taller rear lift block or add an AAL to raise the rear.

    Does it look bad to you? It’s like a half inch difference once I start putting weight in the back I’ll prob do AAL

    Not good or bad. It comes down to ur own personal look preference. If u haul loads frequently or tow it might be worth adding an AAL
