What do you have up front now?

 

Third Gen Off Road Coils and Billy’s

 

Measurements

 

How old are the rear leafs, and what specs.

 

Well the truck is a 2011 and from Canada that’s the most I know on that my friend

 

Maybe upgrade the front suspension instead of putting in spacers.

 

So I had non stock struts and coils. Went back to third gens.

Guess I’m gonna have to save for proper setup

 

Everytime I hear spacers, I think https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/broken-shock.481379/

 

Not really, to each there own though. Your rear leafs dont look stock, but I dont know jack about new toys.

Guys are helping other out alot on here. Check out the classifieds. Everyone upgrades eventually.

Picking up springs used but not collapsed, vs dropping big $$$ on N.I.B doesnt work or is needed for everyone.

@The_Great_PNW just updated

 

Just a fyi, you should measure from.the center of hub to fender line for a more consistent way to measure height of the truck or lift over stock. Tire wear will mess with the magic number you're looking for.

 

So here is fully story.


I bought truck from Tacoma Motors Northwest located in Tacoma. October of 16

I thought the truck was stock, apparently that was wrong.
——————

Recently I decided that it would be beneficial for me to replace said suspension because it was riding super rough.
———————

@danneskjold upgraded his suspension for his 2017/18 Off Road Tacoma with 5k miles on it I believe.

I took that suspension from him (front shocks/coils), Rear shocks, Rear leafs.

————

I did not install the leafs because the one on there were not sagging. The difference between then 17/18 leafs and mine is 1 leaf on mine.

I believe my leafs were upgraded due to TSB a recall done by Toyota. So perhaps stock but not stock.

Even if I dropped that three leaf suspension in I don’t think it would really drop that ass that much.

After putting 3rd Gen on.

Rear Strut


Maybe a leaf mount to help

 

Measured from hub center.
Front: 5100s set at 0 with 884s

Rear: TSB leaf pack with AAL.

 

I double checked after photos.
21.5 in front
24.5 in back

 

How can I be taller and you have 4 leafs with an extra AAL?

Maybe tire size?

 

Non-OE springs that provide lift. Measuring from hub center takes the tire size out of the picture.
TSB leaf pack with AAL.

 

The center of hub to fender measurements takes tire size out of the equation.

 

Those don’t look like mine.


What if that’s AAL with the overload bar still under it?

 

Yours are probably aftermarket.

 

Well if it ain’t Dakar watcha think it is?

 

Could you take a photo of your leaf shackle?
