    So I ordered a TRD PRO earlier last week and I'm 15th as of yesterday in line waiting for one to be built. I would like to know if anyone has put an add a leaf in the back? If you did, was it because it was slightly nose high or some other reason? Or is the truck perfectly level?

    Thanks in advance. Your imput will help me decide if I have dealer add an add a leaf or not.

    A TRD OR built into a Baja/PRO hybrid
    After putting the Baja suspension in my '14 TRD OR with the stock 4 leaf rear, the rear wheel gap was approx 1/2 inch less than the front. This was also noticeable because after install my headlights were pointing higher. I could tell on my garage wall and the fact I was blinding everyone at night.

    I installed the Icon 3 leaf AAL and removed the factory overload, it added about 1.5" of height to the rear, making the rear wheel gap 1" greater than the front.

    I also did this because with two people sitting on the tailgate, the rear was clearly sagging, so with any kind of load I'd be nose high.

    Heads up, with the Icon AAL, and likely with the wheelers, there is a clearance issue on the drivers side front leaf pack clamp. The bolt comes in light contact with the fuel tank mount. By reversing the bolt with the nut on the outside, and grinding the bolt head and clamp down some, the clearance issue is minor. I've verified this on my truck and on another '14 Offroad with the same leaf setup as me.

    My 13 was level for the few weeks. Then I towed my 16 utility trailer and it has sat lower in the rear ever since. Smooth ride empty but take very little weight at all to squat the springs. I think an AAL or progressive AAL would level it out nice. I am looking for rear spring right now for mine.
