    So from the factory my TRD Pro has had a positive rake. The grunt end rides about two inches higher the the empty bed. My truck looks like it has a ton in the when it is empty. The dealer is lost.

    Any idea what is going on. 3,500 miles.

    Thank you

    Do you have pictures of what you’re talking about? The pro is supposed to be leveled or slightly rear high depending on what surface you’re parked on.

    Did you buy it used? Maybe somebody already put some shims in the front and it’s sitting higher than normal.

    I had the same problem with my pro. The springs flattened with bedrack, sliders and occasionally towing a small teardrop. I bought Alcan springs with 600lbs over stock and 2 inch lift. I did it two weeks ago. Towed off-road this weekend and loved it. I’m ass high now but will add coach builder shims when budget allows

    Your truck sits exactly the way mine does. I only have 24,000 miles and have only towed small boat. So I don’t think my Springs have flattened. I have the pro suspension.

    The shims are cheap. The most expensive part would be the alignment if you do the work yourself.

    Ya, thinking this how the Pros come, gives that Baja look I guess. Reachimg out to coachbuilder to see what package he has, like to level and get another inch or to in height without losing my Pro suspension.

    1/4” shim equals to about a 1/2” of lift. Stack two shims on each side if your front is level side to side.
