    I’ve read a few posts on here about a sagging rear, but haven’t seen any confirmed solutions.

    Eibach pro kit with AAL in the rear (overload removed). I’ve had this set up since January and just started noticing the passenger rear is 1” - 1.5” lower. I can’t see any cracks in the leafs and I guess both passenger and driver lead packs look somewhat flat. Since the sag is only on one side, could I chalk this up to crappy Toyota leafs and just get new leaf packs, or could there be something more? My worry is that I get new packs and the right side is still saggy

    All the things!
    Tell your passenger to hit the gym. Lunges and squats ought to perk up that rear.

    Seriously though, AAL's are notorious for sagging, especially with heavy loads. I finally ditched my Icon Progressive 3-leaf AAL, once I realized how badly it sagged. I'm not sure if AAL's create additional stresses on the factory leafs and that's why it sags, or if it's the AAL that wears out... regardless, it seems pretty standard. I upgraded to a full Deaver U402 stage 1 leaf pack, because I was tired of my saggy rear end. :anonymous:

    Depends on the age of the passenger.

    On another thread that was talking about a sagging rear end it ended up being a bent frame, if I remember correctly.
