Quick video showing the installation of an add a leaf in a 2015 Toyota Tacoma.
The Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro has a slightly lifted front and a lower rear suspension. This is great for blasting down the desert at high speed but I found it annoying when hauling my camping gear and motorcycle on camping trips.
This Kit by Rev Tech has the longest leaf you can fit without binding on the pack alignment brackets under flex. This will help with ride and keep the springs from sagging past the tip of the add a leaf, a common occurrence with short add a leafs.
Adding the leaf to the rear leveled the truck out and keeps the tuck from squatting when towing my boat and hauling my camping gear or bike. Total install time should be around an hour or so with proper tools.
I use motorcycle chain wax to lube the spring pack when re assembling to minimize squeaking and promote smooth action. The wax dries acting as a lubricant and rust inhibitor.

A NOTE ON SAFETY, Your safety is your responsibility. Always use appropriate tools and safety gear, check your manual for procedures and torque specs ! The truck is supported out of frame by another jack stand behind the camera. For those thinking that i am relying on the jack to hold up the truck I am not. I do not intend to expire under a truck in my driveway. Be safe, when in doubt put another jack stand under the vehicle, its hard to call for help when you are crushed by your vehicle.
