    My current leafs on my 2005 are starting to look flat and I just bought a new set of 3-leaf packs from a 2013. With the new leafs having more arch, will they lift the rear at all? Or will I still need an AAL?

    Only looking to lift the rear an inch, nothing major.

    How much of a lift you'll get out of them depends on how much yours is currently sagging. Best way to find out would be to measure from the center of the rear wheel straight up to the bottom of the bottom of the wheel well on yours and compare that measurement to a new truck. The difference is pretty much how much lift you'll get out of the new leaf pack.

    You'll probably get a temporary lift but I wouldn't expect it to last. They're still a crappy stock 3-leaf pack so they'll probably flatten back out pretty quickly.

    Pretty normal on tacomas to have leafs that look flat or have a reverse arch appearance.
