Just lifted my 99 limited.. Questions to vets..

[gunny1001]

So I just lifted my 99 limited with eibach/bilstein front and bilstein / lc 8 wraps rear. So after a couple of days I have noticed what appears to be grease or something coming from driver rear wheel brake area. Does anyone have any idea what this may be? I am also running 265/75/16 until they burn up and then I'm going to 285/75/16. Thanks for any help in this matter...

Congratulations on the new lift! Did you use tacoma or tundra bilsteins?
The issue you are seeing in the rear end is very very common it is in the "tutorial" thread.

Here is a link but try to familiarize yourself with the tutorial thread there is loads of important info there:

Sorry tundra...also is this something that has to be fixed tomorrow or can it wait a week???

Hey Gunny, take a picture and let us see. Chances are, it's a blown rear axle seal. Leaving it means you will slowly lose gear oil (bad), destroy your drum brakes on that side (bad), and just put off the inevitable job of replacing it (or both of them).

Actually if its already leaking the pads are gone and need replaced anyways, nothing else is damaged, he can drive it like he just need to keep the pumpkin full.
