Saggy Rear End

As I sat in my garage admiring my new 2013 Tacoma crew cab 4x4 today, I noticed the rear appears to sag a couple of inches compared to the front. Other trucks I have owned have had the reverse problem, and while I do have a 180lb fiberglass canopy on, I was surprised to see this. Has anyone else noticed this, and is there a solution? I know it is a minor thing, but if it sags not, I can't imagine if I actually put something heavy in it. I have the TRD off road package. Thanks for your feedback!
 
Need to add a leaf. I went with a over leaf helper spring. I needed it to tow my boat at night. Cars would flash their lights at me thinking I had my brights on. It is a common problem. Most people use trucks as cars and like the soft springs.
 
Tacomas have crappy rear springs. I bet the dealer will say that they can't do anything about it because 2013s aren't covered in the TSB.
 
Damnit man. Now I gotta go look at mine, and see if I have the same issue.
I have the same truck as you. Just no camper on top
 
My truck sagged and hit the bumpstops with only 500lbs in the bed. I had the TSB done and it still sagged and hit the bump stops with the same load but not as often as when the original springs were on the truck.
 
I talked to the dealership about it and they said that is how Tacoma's are supposed to look. I then called Toyota customer service who told me to take it to the dealer. Neither claim to know anything about a TSB. Sort of stuck.
 
I think and someone correct me if I am wrong, but don't the 2013 Sports have the TSB 4 leaf pack? If so I would use that info to try and get Toyota to put the tsb leafs on your truck. I went through the same BS when I bought my truck in 08. My truck was not covered at the time by the 4 leaf TSB, I complained and Toyota sent out a regional tech and he signed off on me getting the 4 leaf tsb done on my truck. :thumbsup:
