    Well, if 1.5 inches of spring suddenly sprung, I would want a jack to aid hold back the release- bottom pushing down, top going up.
    You could unscrew very slowly which i have done before, but not trying to potentially uncover 1.5 inches of binding. Most are looking to balancing out 1/2"

    Your situation is unique as we are talking about 1.5 inches difference from the sides. I'd be cautious or ask the shop to do it on lift.

    A couple guys have posted toyota rear torque spec sheets on other posts. I do not recall of hand for sure, I was just going by memory. Do a TW search and it will retrieve the posts with rear specs.

    Alright sounds good, i might take it to the shop i had them put on at and ask them what they did and if they will do it on their rack before i go under it, i don’t want that inch and a half sprung while im under the truck imo

    Part of what I though initially with binding somewhere on your rig was my rear is old stock leaf and sits at 37" floor to rear fender top.
    You have new, higher sitting leaf packs and should be quite a bit more.

    37" rear height, floor to fender top, on stock leaves, no lift, and 33.0 diameter tires.
    You should be more.

    Well i went over to the suspension shop i had them installed at and they verified that they didnt tighten down the boly and torque them untill the truck was on its weight. They think that Accutune Offroad sent one spring that was more firm than the other one, so the softer side is sagging. They said to call them and return it and they will put factory springs and blocks on in the mean time. Will see how much this mess up is this time smh.

    I'd tell them to undo what they did, give me the money back, and go to a shop that knows what they are doing.
    Then write a blistering review and post the images of the work they did.

    Or, maybe give them a chance to make it right before you start your cancel campaign. I'll never understand this modern obsession with public shaming?

    how capable are you? im not a small guy but wrestling with the rear suspension while installing an AAL was a chore, Lifting one side of the axle and using my feet to get the leaf spring pin into the slot.

    Bizarre. I would be interested to see if rear full droop with bottom shock mount bolts removed, results in the reverse situation of one leaf considerably shorter droop than the other.
