    Hello everyone, Just joined the site. I have a 2015 tacoma pro, and was looking at the way it sits. The front sits great with the suspension,the rear seams to sit level instead of a little higher like most pickups. Does anybody know the height from the ground for my truck to top of bumber or center of hitch ? Or is this the way the truck is suppose to be. It rides great and everything is stock. Thanks for your help, John G.

    Welcome to the club!
    Your Pro has a 1.75" lift in the front that levels it compared to the rake that the Sport and Off Road have. A lot of new truck owners run out and get a leveling kit installed to make their truck look like yours does.

    Hi Ryan, then i should probably should leave it stock then. I'm use to trucks having a slightly higher rear. Thanks, John

    It's your truck, you can do whatever you want with it. But if I were you I'd live with it for a bit before making any drastic changes, and in the meantime browse some threads about dudes going crazy because their aftermarket leafs won't stop squeaking.

    You can put something like an icon progressive leaf in the rear. Will yield between 1.5"-2" of rear lift. They ride nice.

    I like the way it rides now, not sure if aal would change the ride . the side profile is level. I guess my past trucks always sat up a little higher in the rear. Thanks, John

    Single aals will ride terrible. Multi leaf packs ride much nicer. I just installed the icon progressive I spoke of earlier. Its a 3 leaf that is used with all the factory leafs, except the overload if you dont want that .5". It rides better than stock.

    Any reason you went with Icon?

    Wheeler's/HeadStrong/ToyTec/Icon all use the exact same springs for the 3 leaf AAL (and the same manufacturer and specs). Icon was/is like $40 more than the lowest priced company.

    The Pros ride very nice stock. Unless you want more lift, well "if it ain't broke..."

    Companies sell stuff like this for non-Pro trucks so they'll LOOK level like yours does: http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/lrt-...a-tacoma-by-low-range-off-road-lr-lrtaco.html
    And it costs a lot more than that for the full upgraded suspension you already have.

    I did the same and the rear rides better than stock.
