Bed not level
« on: Feb 08, 2007, 05:30:21 AM »
I have an 02 Tacoma that the bed is higher on the right rear corner. I have noticed other Tacomas that seem to have the same problem. What causes this and is it normal?

more weight on the driver side (you) = the spring is more broken in = settling. Its like comparing a new 4" leaf pack compared to a 4" pack that was wheeled on for a year. the older one will have loss arch therefor loosing lift if that make sens.

i used to have a 97 and if you would just turn sharp into a parking spot somethings the one side would sit a little higher but only like a inch, How much of a difference in hight is there??

Also make sure you don't have a broken leaf. I know there were several years of taco's that were notorious for breaking leafs, but I can't remember which years it is.
