Rear leaf arch #872270 02/29/08 02:42 AM

So yesterday I put on a procomp AAL on my 86 4runner. It has the pack with 4 leaves, and it was riding solidly on the overload. Now it rides off the overload (about half inch of clearance maybe) but the springs still appear pretty flat. With the truck on level ground it looks like it still may be a little lower in the rear, but this could be an optical illusion from my street or something. So my question now is this: What is everyone seeing for arch on the back springs vs the height of the rear compared to the front. Also does anyone know what stock is supposed to look like? (flat, tiny bit of arch, or a lot).

Getting the Wheeling Fever
It should not be tilting backwards, or riding on or near the overload spring. I had to add a leaf to mine to get it jacked back up whre it belongs. Pretty common for these older trucks to sag in the rear.
