    I bought a 2011 Tacoma pre runner 4x2 with a leveling kit on it. One side is different than the other and my left tire rubs the frame from time to time. Can someone tell me if its installed correctly? TIA for your time and input. It came with 285/60/16 tires thanks for your help guys!

    Are both sides installed the same? That is how the revtek kit is installed though. I believe their instructions to say remove the rubber spacer but I think it's better to leave it in for noise reduction. That type the strut upper mounting plate is taken off using a spring compressor and other tools. Then you preload the spring with that spacer. It will give the front a harsher ride. Hope that helps.

    The rubber spacer on the other side is in place.this one seems to be coming out...trying to figure out why my left tire catches the frame on corners and in reverse.

    I would take some measurements on each side to check everything is straight. Maybe there is a bent mount or something on the left. I would get rid of them if you can afford it and get Bilstein's or a nice coilover.
